Dog areas closed for surf championships
Flagged patrol locations for public swimming and dog off-leash areas on Umina and Ocean Beaches will change from March 1 to 10 due to the NSW Surf Life Saving Championships.
The current flagged patrol locations for public swimming will be designated in locations further north of Ocean Beach Surf Club and further south of Umina Beach Surf Club, impacting on dog off-leash areas at these sites.
As dogs are prohibited within patrol locations, the existing dog off-leash areas will be temporarily closed between the hours of 7am to 6pm for the duration of the Championships.
This temporary closure does not relate to the current review of the Dog Exercise Area Policy.
Signage has been placed at all access points to the existing dog off-leash areas at Umina Beach and Ocean Beaches.
