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