CONSULTATION | New Dog Park Survey

New Dog Park Survey

A community survey was undertaken in August / September 2017 to seek the community’s view on location, size and key features to be included in the park.

• Council received over 200 responses to the online engagement and the community showed strong support (98%) for the development of a new dog park.
• Comments supporting the proposal included having a dog park with separate areas for small and large dogs, the importance of maintaining responsible dog behaviour and the broader community and social benefits that dog parks can bring.
• Comments not supporting the proposal included concerns with dog behaviour and a preference to upgrade existing dog parks.

The majority of respondents 52.8% would prefer a park with separate areas for small and large dogs, with 35.4% preferring a park for all dogs in one area and 7% preferring a park for small dogs only.

The full survey results can be viewed on our Making Marion website: New Dog Park Community Engagement Report October 2017.
