Dogs in Public Spaces Strategy Review

Background

Blue Mountains City Council manages dogs in public spaces with the direction of the Dogs in Public Spaces Strategy 2017. You can download the Dogs in Public Spaces Strategy 2017 on the right of this page.

It is time to review and update the strategy, and the community's input is a vital part of that process.

This survey is the first round of community consultation to understand what is working and what is not.

The results will be used to inform the review process.

Further consultation will occur as the new strategy document is developed. We invite you to subscribe to receive updates by clicking "Follow Project" on the right of this page.

You can find more information and resources on dogs, including how to report a roaming or off-leash dog, at Dogs in the Blue Mountains | Blue Mountains City Council.

The survey is open from 9am 14 April 2025 to 5pm 21 May 2025.

This Survey

The questions in this survey relate both to matters of dogs in public areas generally and dog off-leash requirements in particular.

It begins with general questions about off-leash areas and the facilities provided in them.

It follows with questions about dog management outside off-leash areas.

At the end there is a section to comment on each existing off leash area.

You only need to answer the questions relevant to yourself.

If you would like assistance to complete this survey, or you would like to complete the survey in another way, please contact Council on 02 4723 5000 or council@bmcc.nsw.gov.au and we will facilitate this.
