Engagement history

We sought community feedback on proposed dog off-leash areas at Palm Beach (north) and Mona Vale Beach (south). We welcomed feedback on both locations.

We invited you to view the concept plans and read the information below to learn more about what we are proposing.

Check out the proposals we engaged on below, including the concept plans for the proposed dog off-leash areas.

The proposed concept plan for the Palm Beach (north) dog off-leash area is illustrated below.

We are proposing the following:

  • Trial area and boundaries:
    • Length of the proposed off-leash area is 400 metres.
    • Northern boundary - 280 metres south of the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.
    • Southern boundary - 300 metres north of the North Palm Beach Surf Lifesaving Club.
    • Western boundary - the eastern edge of the dunes in Governor Phillip Park.
    • Eastern boundary - 130 metres east of the eastern edge of the dunes.
  • Specific pathways as shown on the concept plan.
  • Off-leash area times and days 4pm to 10am, 7 days a week (applies to specified pathways and the trial area on the beach).
  • 12-month trial (subject to approval).
