Animals & Pets

Whether you have a goldfish or 100 hundred of cattle – the Fraser Coast Regional Council have rules and regulations around these animals.   

Click HERE to be redirected to their website for the complete guidelines to owning and keeping animals on the Fraser Coast.

Read on for my brief overview of the most important information – where can I walk my dog off leash and how many pets can I have on my property?

WHERE CAN I WALK MY DOG OFF THE LEASH?

Council provides a number of dog off-leash areas across the Fraser Coast.

These areas provide the opportunity to play, exercise and socialise leash-free with other dogs and dog park visitors.
Dog off-leash areas can include facilities such as seating, water, dog waste bins/litter bag dispensers, and some shaded areas.

When attending an off leash area, you must ensure your:

  • dog is under your control (for example: your dog will return to you when called).
  • dog is not a nuisance to other dogs and their owners.
  • dog’s droppings are disposed of in the bins provided.
  • dog is registered with Council, wormed regularly, and its vaccinations are up to date.
