South Burnett dog facilities and owner responsibilities
South Burnett Regional Council offers dog off-leash areas in Kingaroy, Nanango and Wondai for you and your furry friends to enjoy the outdoors together.
To ensure the enjoyment and safety of all residents, all dog owners are reminded of their responsibilities concerning Council’s local law on having your dog in a public place:
- Dogs must be leashed at all times outside your property, except when in designated off-leash areas
- Dogs must be kept under effective control whilst in a public place
- All dog owners must pick up all faeces left by your animal whilst in a public place and dispose of it appropriately
Council encourages dog owners to be prepared with plastic bags to collect any excreta from their animal.
Dog waste bag dispensers have been provided at off-leash areas for residents’ convenience.
If utilising these public areas, please be courteous and considerate of other users and their animals.
If you do not comply with the local laws as a dog owner or dog carer, you could attract a maximum fine of $2,669 per offence.
Members of the public are also reminded that they can report any non-compliant behaviours to Council for investigation and an appropriate response.
