Pet etiquette - sharing is caring

Let’s play together safely

As a pet owner, you have certain responsibilities to your community. Going walkies? Dogs must be on a lead unless in a designated off-leash area. Even in a designated off-leash area dogs must be on leash within 20 metres of a playground, barbeque, picnic area or an organised sporting event including training.

Please be responsible, respectful and safe when sharing spaces.

🐶 Always maintain effective control

💩 Scoop the poop!

❌ Don’t let your dog dig

🙏 Ask permission before approaching people or dogs

🐾 Never let your dog run at or jump on others

Visit our interactive walking your dog in Bayside map before letting your dog off-leash to ensure you're in an off-leash area.

 

Cat curfew 🐱

During non-daylight savings periods, our feline friends must be confined to their owner’s property between 6pm - 6am. The earlier curfew time means Bayside’s moggies are tucked up for earlier sunsets in the cooler months. The introduction of extended cat curfew hours is the first step towards transitioning to 24-hour cat containment in 2025/26, which will require cats to be kept on their owners’ properties at all times.
