We are proposing to update our Policy on Dogs (including some of the regional and local dog access rules) and Dog Management Bylaw, and we want your feedback.
Our policy and bylaw
Our policy helps us keep dogs a positive part of the life of Aucklanders by ensuring people can take their dogs to public places, minimising the problems that dogs can cause and ensuring the welfare of dogs.
Our bylaw implements the policy.
What we are proposing
We have reviewed the policy and bylaw, and we want to:
- establish a maximum number of dogs a person may walk at one time in council-controlled public places
- clarify and update dog access rules for 14 regional parks
- clarify and update dog access rules for 64 local parks and beaches
- remove outdated or repeated information
- improve the layout and make the wording clearer.
What we want your feedback on
We want to know what you think of the proposals to:
- limit the number of dogs a person may walk at one time
- amend the dog access rules at regional and local parks
- make the policy and bylaw clearer and easier to read.
