Keep your dog on lead in permitted parks
 
Dogs are permitted in many parks and reserves provided they are under control and on leads at all times. Visitors should keep their dog on-lead except in designated off-lead areas. Keeping your dog on a lead ensures you both have a safe park visit.
Poison baits may be laid to control foxes or other feral animals. Baits can be fatal to dogs.
Even if your dog is friendly, other dogs may not be.
Your dog can catch parasites (such as fleas and ticks) from wildlife.
Snake bites are a real risk in natural areas such as parks.
Wildlife such as kangaroos and koalas will defend themselves if threatened by a dog and can cause significant injury to or the death of your dog.
 
Dog-friendly code of conduct
Consider other park users and ensure that dogs are always kept under effective control.
Always carry a lead, even when in off-lead areas.
Bring a friend if you wish to walk with more than two dogs.
Ensure children are supervised whilst near dogs, as they are vulnerable to attack.
Ensure your dog’s identification, registration and vaccinations are up to date.
Minimise any disturbance to native fauna, including birdlife in the park.
Clean up after your dog and take all rubbish home.
