You and your Dog
There are many benefits of owning and caring for a dog, including developing daily exercise routines and friendships with other dog owners. Responsible dog ownership includes registering your dog with Council and ensuring they have sufficient exercise. Council has two designated off leash areas, at Back Beach (west of Bluff Beach) and East Devonport, starting from Wright Street heading towards Pardoe.

Should we have City emblems?
Tasmania now has the Tassie Devil. Would Devonport benefit from having floral and fauna emblems? Would they help promote city pride and a sense of belonging? Or could they be a unifying symbol for our city's sporting, arts, social, business and civic representatives? Council invites you to have your say online up until 5pm, 28 July 2015.
