The Dog Management policy continues to take these matters into consideration and additionally acknowledges the importance that dogs play in the lives of their owners. This consideration has led to dogs now being able enter George Town Council owned cemeteries on the condition that all dogs are on lead and under effective control.

The determination has occurred over time in consultation with stakeholders and this has included Reserve Activity Assessment most recently in 2021 and again in mid-2024.

Typically, the Dog Zones determined by PWS are well known and understood by residents and visitors and any comment about minor amendments or proposed changes have been responded to by PWS in the consultation period.
