These include the grounds of a child care centre, preschool, primary school, high school or secondary college during school hours or when school sport including training is being conducted unless the keeper of the dog resides in the grounds, or a dog is taken into the grounds with the approval of the principal.
Dogs are prohibited within 10 metres of anything designed for play by children in a public place if children are playing on it and on playing fields anywhere where sport or training for sport is being played.
