Dog friendly spaces

Published on 27 June 2025

Kiama Council at our June Ordinary Meeting adopted Council’s first Dog Friendly Spaces Strategy.

This Strategy provides a strategic approach to the future provision of our dog friendly spaces throughout our Municipality.

Council developed the strategy in consultation with the community, with more than 500 responses to an initial survey in our co-design phase. We also received a great response to the draft strategy, with more than 40 formal submissions and numerous conversations and interactions at our Community Pop-ups.

The strategy defines dog friendly spaces, lists our current off-leash and dog friendly spaces and outlines how Council balances the needs of dog owners and open space users

The actions outlined in the Draft Dog Friendly Spaces Strategy range from an internal audit of signage to the creation of a new fenced off-leash area for dogs in Jamberoo.
