September 2024 Update

In August and September, Council amended and finalised the design drawings for the off-leash dog park.

In October, it is anticipated construction of the entrances, pathways and park seats will be undertaken, with the fencing works to be undertaken in the following months due to fencing contractor availability owing to the specialised nature of the work.

July 2024 Update

Following Council’s May 2024 resolution, three potential sites within Fagan Park were evaluated based on environmental and heritage impacts, accessibility and compatibility with existing uses.

Council deliberated on the matter at the 10 July 2024 Council meeting and resolved:

THAT construction of an off-leash dog park proceed at Fagan Park in the current proposed location consistent with the adopted Off-Leash Dog Park Strategy.

Construction works will recommence on site once contractors are available to proceed with the works.
