Since adopting the Open Space Strategy and Implementation Plan in 2020, Council has extended the dog off-leash period during winter at Greenhills Beach and now we are exploring potential locations for a new dog area in Engadine or Heathcote.

HAVE YOUR SAY

Now is your chance to have your say to help make sure we get the location right and can start designing a great fenced dog park.

Three possible locations have been identified:

• Karamarra Road Reserve, Engadine
• Naranga Avenue Reserve, Engadine
• part of Heathcote Oval, Heathcote

Complete the survey here to tell us your views on these potential sites. You may wish to suggest another park within the area for us to investigate. The survey period closes midnight Sunday 28 February 2021.

• Visibility and monitoring
• Environmental issues that may impact use
