Tuross Head dogs
Dogs
around town:
Dogs are more
than welcome on our shared cycleways however they MUST be on a leash at
all times
In the area
of the Monash Ave/Anderson Ave foreshore dogs may be off the leash but
only in the
foreshore area and NOT on the shared cycleway.
Eurobodalla
Shire Council has prepared a variety of documents covering keeping
Companion Animals in our Shire.

Dogs
on the Tuross beaches:
The Council
has put some rules in place to make sure that dogs can be responsibly
exercised on the
beaches of the Eurobodalla Coast.
Most of the indentified areas in the Shire are available on a "time-share"
basis sharing our beaches between
those with dogs and those who would rather be on the beach without dogs.
We are very
fortunate here in Tuross to have incredible beaches to share with our
dogs. Please don't abuse this freedom.
If you are going
outside of Tuross you might like to refer to Councils "Dogs on Beaches"
leaflet here

Map of Dog Excercise areas in Tuross Head


NOTE : Time Share Off-Leash Exercise Areas - *24 hour
access off season*
• From - 1 November to 30 April time-share access
is available between 5pm and 9am
• From - 1 May to 31 October access is available on a 24 hour basis
Please
note that Dogs must be on a lead within the Memorial Gardens.
The gardens are a public place and are the work of our wonderful
Garden committee who keep
the gardens immaculate for all to enjoy. Damage to plants and dog droppings
are two things that can be
overcome with the help of caring and responsible dog owners. If you see
dogs off the lead in the
Gardens please advise their owners.
Note:
In off leash areas dogs must be effectively controlled and supervised
at all times.
Dog faeces must be removed immediately.
Penalties do apply and are regulary enforced.
Note that dogs are prohibited on our popular swimming beaches and to the
north of Coila Bar (2.6km along the beach) and south of the Tuross River
mouth where the beaches become National Park (keep an eye out for NP signs)..

Dog
Poo Bags for our VISITORS
We are
incredibly fortunate to have two stunning places to take our dogs
for walks in this community.
Please be responsible for your dog at all time and take full responsibilty
for its droppings as well.
The
village has Doo-Do
dispensers to provide environmentally friendly bags to owners
caught out without their own supply.
Eurobodalla
Shire Council Donates 4000 bags to the Tuross Community each year.
The
Community of Tuross then supplements the demand with further donations
to cover the shortfall ($330) to provide a backstop supply.
Locals:
Please be considerate and provide your own bags and restrict
using the bags provided so that they are always available to visiting
dog owners or to those of us who find themselves without a bag.These
courtesy bags cost around 7 cents each.
