Dogs Off-Leash Out of Hours at Whyalla Foreshore
Whyalla City Council is seeking your feedback on requests for dogs to be allowed off-leash along the broader foreshore area in the early mornings and late evenings.
Under the current arrangements, Ada Ryan Gardens and the foreshore – from the Yacht Club to Dunstone Street – are reserved for people with dogs on-leash only. The foreshore from Dunstone Street to the mangroves is allocated for off-leash dog exercising.
Council is interested to hear from the community whether there could be greater flexibility in how it manages these arrangements, particularly focusing on early mornings (before 8am) and evening (after 9pm) across the entire foreshore. We would also like to know if there are other areas across the city that residents would like to see allocated for dogs off-leash.
We would like to hear from all users of the foreshore – both dog owners and those that utilise the foreshore without dogs – through a short survey that has been created.
TAKE THE SURVEY HERE!
The survey will be open for the next month, closing on Monday 14 March. Council will use the feedback provided to inform decision making about the space allocated for dogs on or off leash under the new By-laws.
