Wildlife Protection Areas

Hornsby Shire Council has declared a number of Wildlife Protection Areas to help preserve our region's unique biodiversity

Keep your dogs on a leash in Wildlife Protection Areas and stay on designated tracks. Council has a number of leash-free areas if you want to let your pet run free. Owners of dogs found roaming in Wildlife Protection Areas can be fined. Read more about penalties.
Keep your cats contained on your property during the day and indoors at night. Cats found in a Wildlife Protection Area can be seized and the owner fined. Read more about penalties.
All natural features including native vegetation, bush rock and fallen timber are protected and must not be removed or damaged.
Dumping of rubbish or garden waste and the use of motor vehicles within these areas is prohibited.

Please note: You can bring a trained assistance animal into a NSW National Park, however access for other pets is restricted. For more information visit www.environment.nsw.gov.au/questions/pet-national-park
