Have Your Say: Dog Off-Leash Areas in Port Phillip

The City of Port Phillip is seeking community feedback on potential new and improved dog off-leash areas. With over 8,500 registered dogs in the municipality, Council is exploring options to better meet growing demand.

Proposed locations include:

• Point Ormond Reserve
• Beach north of Point Ormond rock groyne
• Anzac Gardens
• Kirrip Park (Park next to SMPS)

Council is also considering additional fencing at Clarke Reserve (Elwood) to improve safety in the existing off-leash area.

Families are invited to share their feedback by Sunday 31 May 2026.
