flag Wollongong Council maintains off-leash dog access at McCauleys Beach amid community and environmental concerns.

flag Wollongong City Council has dropped proposed restrictions on off-leash dogs at McCauleys Beach due to community opposition and concerns over environmental and cultural impacts, including the protected Sandon Point Aboriginal Place. flag The decision follows a staff review recommending reduced off-leash access due to erosion and lost stairway access, but councillors cited strong public sentiment, recalling the 2014 backlash against similar rules. flag The council unanimously voted to maintain current off-leash access at the beach, though it will still consult on adjusted on-leash hours and potential new off-leash parks in Tarrawanna, Horsley, and Stream Hill.
