Rotorua Lakes Council’s own wording: “Rotorua Lakes Council, Dog Policy (version 2, 8 October 2024), Hamurana: "Dogs must be on leash from the area enclosed by a post and rail fence opposite the intersection of Kaska and Hamurana Roads to the mouth of the Hamurana Stream mouth between the hours of 9am to 7pm from 15 December to 1 March inclusive. Outside of these times dogs may be exercised off a lead provided they are under the strict control of the person exercising the dog. Dogs are prohibited at all times from within 10 metres of the Children's Playground and the BBQ facilities located on this portion of the Reserve." On this walk that window covers the eastern third, from the post and rail fence out to the Hamurana Stream mouth”. Evidence: the council’s own mapped rule zone. How we check dog rules.
