This consultation has now closed.

We want to hear your thoughts on Kirrip Park becoming an off-leash dog park.

Last November, Council received a petition with 417 signatures from local residents requesting Kirrip Park become an 'off-leash' dog park after 5 pm on weekdays and anytime during the weekend and/or public holidays.

In response to the petition Council agreed to undertake a site-specific review of Kirrip Park as a potential dog off leash area, with a report submitted to Council following completion of this review process. A key part of this process is consultation with our local community and stakeholders, and this has been included as an action in the draft Domestic Animal Management Plan, which is currently out for consultation until 5 September 2021.

Your feedback will help Council to consider the park's suitability as a new dog off-leash area.

Next steps

Your feedback will be presented to Council in November 2021 as part of its consideration of the Draft Domestic Animal Management Plan.
