Cardinia Shire Council seeks feedback for Alma Treloar dog park upgrade

Share your ideas at upcoming community consultations for the Alma Treloar Reserve upgrades. (Stewart Chambers: 472729)

Alma Treloar Reserve’s dog off leash area is getting an upgrade and we want to hear from our community on what they would like included.

With funding support from the Victorian Government’s New and Upgraded Dog Parks program, Cardinia Shire Council is upgrading the dog off leash area at Alma Treloar Reserve to create a space that encourages socialising and exercising for all kinds of dogs.

The proposed upgrade aims to improve the facilities including additional seating, shelter, a concrete walking path, a drinking fountain with a dog water bowl, planting, and drainage improvements.

This consultation opportunity invites the community to share insights into how they and their four-legged friends use the park, what they enjoy about the park, any challenges they face and any suggestions for improvements.

The community can provide input in various ways:
