Background

The City of Cockburn is reviewing the rollout of our dog off-lead areas in the Animal Management Exercise Management Plan and wants to hear your thoughts.

About this review

The City consistently seeks to find and evolve solutions, supported by community consultation, to ensure that all our residents (including the furry ones) can share our beautiful open spaces in the best way possible.

In 2020, the City released its Animal Management and Exercise Plan 2020-2025 (AMEP), which introduced a ‘traffic light indicator’ trial to provide a way to share our parks/reserves and maximise potential dog exercise areas available. The traffic light indicator approach proposed to trial 27 parks/reserves as dog off-lead exercise areas when not in use by schools and clubs. The trial was scheduled to be a three-phase roll-out.

The City is proactively reviewing the roll-out of the AMEP’s ‘traffic light indicator’ trial to ensure its success.

As part of this review, we are seeking community feedback on AMEP listed parks/reserves that:

  • Have already been trialled as off-lead areas
  • Are soon to be zoned as off-lead areas
  • Were scheduled to be trialled as off-lead areas but may remain as on-lead areas.

Community feedback will help inform the next steps.

Traffic light indicator parks and trial phases

Parks already trialled as dog off-lead areas: • Allendale Park • Aubin Grove Reserve • Beeliar Reserve • Colorado Park • Goodchild Park • Santich Park • Enright Reserve • Success Reserve. Phase three parks – parks are to remain as dog on-lead status areas: • Anning Park • Atwell Reserve • Beale Park • Botany Park • Davilak Park • Edwardes Park • Frankland Park • Len Packham Park • Meller Park • Nicholson Reserve • Radonich Park • South Coogee Reserve • Tempest Park • Watson Oval. Phase three parks – where parks to be trialled as dog off-lead areas: • Albion Park • Dubove Park • Len McTaggart Park • Pool Reserve • Visko Park

*The City initially trialled Len Packham Park in phase two, but it will now be reviewed as a potential on-leash area.
