Dog off-leash areas
A place for dogs to run free
There are 30 dog off-leash areas in the Redlands. Most of the sites are clearly signed and fully fenced. Dog bag dispensers are provided in all areas, apart from North Stradbroke Island. These sites are a great place for dogs to run free but you need to have control over your dog.
Dog owners caught letting their dogs play off-leash in non-designated off-leash areas will get an on-the-spot fine of $150 under Council’s
Local Law No. 2 Keeping and Control of Animals.

When using dog off-leash areas please remember to:
- respect other users
- check the signage to make sure you are within the boundaries
- control your dog/s (your dog must return to you when called)
- ensure your dog does not chase birds or other wildlife
- ensure all gates in a fenced area are closed (in unfenced areas, it is highly recommended that children unable to control their dog should not use this area)
- be respectful of neighbouring residents, particularly in the early morning
- be mindful of opening and closing times
- supervise children in the area (particularly if they do not have effective control over their dog)
- clean up after your dog and dispose of waste appropriately.
All dogs must be put back on the leash when leaving the off-leash area.
