Our 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

Location 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.
