   General Tips

Welcome to the Dunedin City Council Animal Control information page.

 

Here is some summer information for walking along the beach with your best friend.

  • Prohibited beach areas.

  • Designated areas of bathing beaches (other than St Clair Beach and Brighton Beach) between the flags where life guards mark the safe areas for swimming during periods when daylight saving is in force.
  • St Clair Beach and Esplanade:
    1. All of the beach from the Salt Water Pool to the nearest piles on the beach to the north. However, dogs on a leash may have access to the beach between 8.00pm and 8.00am the following day with access via the end of Beach St and the steps between the Surf Lifeesaving Club and the end of the sea wall at the northern end of the Esplanade.
    2. The park on Victoria Road adjoining the playground area, the playground area itself and the sealed area adjacent to this that starts at the Esplanade and extends past the Surf Club to the beach track.
    3. The Esplanade area which fronts and runs parallel to the sea wall to where it meets Beach Street to the south.
    4. The asphalt car park that is accessed from the Esplanade.
    5. The reserves park situated between the asphalt car park that is accessed from the Esplanade and Bedford Street.

Take your friend to your local park.

 

DESIGNATED DOG EXERCISE AREAS

Several areas throughout the city have been designated as dog exercise areas. Whilst dogs do not necessarily have to be on a leash in these areas, they must still be under control by voice or sign. Any dog droppings must be removed immediately.
