Your feedback
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback regarding this proposal. There were 149 surveys completed and 26 people who provided input at the drop-in session. There was significant support for a dog park in Huntingdale, however not within Sutherlands Park.
Why a dog park at Sutherlands Park?
Council committed to providing an enclosed dog park within Sutherlands Park as a result of community consultation regarding the Sutherlands Park Master Plan.
Why choose this part of Sutherlands Park?
The Master Plan shows long term development plans for the entire Sutherlands Park site, including SPLASH, sporting reserves and pavilions, parking and parks maintenance facilities.
The proposed dog park location was selected for a variety of reasons that include:
- It is a large enough area that sits outside current and planned active sporting reserves
- It is already reticulated
- There is space for additional car parking adjacent to the area
- Pedestrian networks can be connected easily
- Easy access from Gay Street
- The underground sewer line and overhead power lines on the strip between reserves E and F limit further development opportunity.
