Brimbank council is inviting residents to have their say on future works at Sydenham Basin Reserve dog off-leash area.
The draft concept plan aims to create a safe and welcoming environment for dogs and their owners, whilst also enhancing the natural landscape and biodiversity within the park.
The proposed dog park may feature partial fencing to support safety, a circuit path around the site with sensory sniff stops for dogs, a shelter for shade and comfort, active and calm zones with a variety of plants, seating for owners to relax and watch their dogs play, and a drinking water fountain.
Council believes these ideas will make a great space for dogs and their owners. However, as this site is a retarding basin the proposed works are subject to Melbourne Water approval and may change.
Residents can provide feedback by attending the listening post event at the park on Saturday, November 15 from 10am to 12pm at Sydenham Basin Reserve.
Alternatively, residents can have their say online at www.yoursay.brimbank.vic.gov.au
Consultation closes Friday, November 29.
Council would like to hear from children too, and encourage parents and carers to help them submit their feedback.
