On-Leash Dog Exercise Consultation, Sandra Park, Rossmoyne

What is happening?

The suburb of Rossmoyne has three dog on-leash parks (Central Park, Lions Park and Rossmoyne Park) and five off-leash parks (Creekview Park, Sandra Park, Massey Park, Ann Park and Fifth Park) as well as the Rossmoyne foreshore.

Currently the only on-leash park with a playground is Rossmoyne Park and feedback has been received that families would like to visit a playground in Rossmoyne where dogs must be kept on-leash. Due to this, at the Ordinary Council Meeting of 19 September 2023, Council resolved to engage with the community to determine support to change Sandra Park, Rossmoyne from off-leash to on-leash.

What does this mean?

An on-leash park does not prohibit dogs from being brought into a park but the dog must be on-leash at all times.

As always, owners are responsible for cleaning up after their dogs, and owners are asked not to take their dog into the children’s playground. Signage will be erected with details about the community consultation regarding off-leash status.

What are we seeking?

In the survey below, we are asking for community feedback to find out if there is support for Sandra Park to become a permanent on-leash park.

The consultation period commences on 19 September 2024.

Please provide your comments by 10 December 2024.

What happens next?

The community feedback will form a recommendation to Council to determine if Sandra Park will continue to be an off-leash park, or if it will change to an on-leash park.
