The project background page records the remaining council resolution: the entire foreshore is a dog on-leash area between 10.00am and 8.00pm on any day during daylight saving. It does not state an off-leash rule outside those hours, or a clock for standard time, so those times stay on check with council. The August 2022 spatial split of the beaches was rescinded on 30 August 2022.
