Background

    Feedback on specific proposals

    In response to previously received feedback, changes have been proposed to several specific Council-managed dog exercise areas in our shire. Council want to hear from the community on the preferred layout options, as well as suggestions for infrastructure that may need to be put in place to support responsible dog walking in these locations.

    The specific proposals currently open for feedback are:

    Suggestions for other existing dog exercise areas

    Council does not have any proposed changes for the parks at South Kempsey, Kempsey Riverside Park or Stuarts Point and Grassy Head however we are welcoming suggestions for improvement
