Stage 1 - Community Engagement

Stage 1 Community Engagement was open between April and May 2018. Public contributions regarding the current Dog Management Strategy were collected. Submissions were considered in the drafting of a new dog management policy and in determining proposed declared areas (off-lead, on-lead, prohibited, training and restricted) areas.

The proposed declared areas were considered by the City's Parks and Recreation Committee at its meeting on 6 December 2018.

The decision of the Parks and Recreation Committee was considered by the full Council at its meeting on 17 December 2018.

The Committee and Council determined that the dog management policy and declared areas as proposed will be released for comment.

Consultation on the draft dog management policy and proposed declared areas is proposed to take place in January 2019.
