Rangers Update

Council encourages dog owners to make the most of the newly re-appointed Rotaract Dog Park – the first park in Alice Springs where you can exercise your canine buddies (big and small) off-leash, 24/7!

For all other grassed parks and ovals, please ensure your pet is only off-leash during the specified times. Off-leash times are between 5am and 8am every day of the week, excluding Anzac Oval and TIO Traeger Park where animals are not permitted.

Rangers wish to remind pet owners that dogs must remain under effective control at all times, whether off-leash or on, especially when sharing open green space with other users and sporting clubs. Any owner deemed by Rangers to be not effectively controlling their pet will be asked to place the animal on a leash. Refusal to do so may incur an infringement, under Council By-laws 2008.

A full list of Council’s off-leash pet exercise parks can be found here.

Territory Day celebrations are fast approaching on Thursday 1 July 2021!! Your Council Rangers wish to advise the pet-lovin’ community to keep pets safe indoors, or comfortable and secure on your property, during the fireworks permit period between 6pm-11pm only.

You can enjoy a safe celebration this coming Territory Day by: • leaving pets at home, safe indoors with plenty of water (with a radio or TV on, if you’re heading out) • ensuring fireworks are only set off – one at a time – between 6pm-11pm, in a clear space (min. 10m clearing) • pointing fireworks away from trees, dry grass, buildings, neighbour’s homes, animals, other people • not allowing children under 12 years to handle fireworks For the NTG’s complete Safe Celebrations Guide, visit...
