Report to Council Recommending Final Policy Endorsement

A final draft of the Access Areas for Dogs Policy (the Policy) and a draft Access Areas for Dogs Policy Implementation Plan (Implementation Plan) will be submitted to the Ordinary Council Meeting on 11 December 2023 for proposed endorsement.

The final draft Policy and Implementation Plan were prepared following the resolution of Council at the 9 October 2023 Ordinary Council Meeting [MIN23.603]. You can read the 9 October resolution on the Council's Agenda and Minutes web page.

The draft Policy and Implementation Plan incorporates community and key stakeholder feedback received during the public exhibition of the draft Policy from 30 April to 12 June 2023. This feedback was summarised in a Community Engagement Summary report noted by the elected Council at the 9 October 2023 Ordinary Meeting.

The final draft Policy, draft Implementation Plan, and accompanying report can be viewed on the Meeting Agenda and Minutes page on Council’s website.

Members of the public can attend or livestream the 11 December Council meeting or make a deputation. Please note that a deputation request form must be submitted through the Deputations web page no later than 9.30am on the day of the meeting.
