    The ongoing maintenance arrangements for the dog park is something that would need to be worked through. It could be a community group that undertake the maintenance, or it could be Council who maintains the park. It would also depend on the materials utilised in the park, for example if irrigated grass is required the water would likely be a cost to Council. 

    In terms of complaints, for dog attacks Council is delegated under the Dog and Cat Management Act to investigate incidents relating to Dogs, in terms of maintenance and complaints about the park itself, this would need to be something that is worked through dependant on who is responsible for the upkeep, most likely Council would be the primary contact given the park would be located on Council land.

    In terms of requirements, it would be dependent on the infrastructure within and associated with the dog park.  Any of the structures would need to comply with relevant legislation, Australian Standards and or planning approval. for example pathways would need to be Disability Inclusion Act 2018 to provide safe access. There are also a guideline developed by the Dog and Cat Management Board which provides guidance on the design of dog park. This can be found at the following link: UnleashedDogParks-B.pdf

    There is some Parking within the Bungala Park area however more may be required in closer to the proposed location, This would need to be considered within the design. The proposed dog park would be enclosed by a fence

    There have been, in previous years, projects to investigate a dog park has been put forward as part of the annual business planning as well as previous consultation undertaken on the community desire for a dog park. To date these projects have not progressed beyond initial investigation.

    Hi Gary, 

    At this stage no noise impact assessments have been undertaken, this could be something considered within the process.

    What are the upfront establishment and ongoing operational costs to council and residence should this dog park go ahead

    jgourzis asked about 2 months ago

    A full understanding of costs is unknown at this stage. The survey is to gain an understanding on whether the community would like to see a dog park, what they would like to see within the dog park and if the community would be open to a lease arrangement to a community group to run the dog park. These different factors would result in different cost outcomes. However, it would be reasonable to expect that should Council be responsible for the maintenance of the dog park there would be an increase in resources needed to achieve this, this may be in the way of additional resources or a reduction of resources in another area.
