Tauranga considers year-round dog bans in wildlife areas due to ongoing threats to seals, seabirds, and penguins.
Tauranga City Council is considering a year-round dog ban in key wildlife areas like Shark Alley and Moturiki due to ongoing threats to seals, seabirds, and blue penguins, as seasonal restrictions have proven ineffective.
The council is also evaluating leash requirements in public spaces and a potential ban in cemeteries, with staff drafting proposals for 2026.
While wildlife experts urge stronger protections, some, including dog behaviourist Misha Gildenberger, advocate for education over new regulations, emphasizing responsible ownership.
