Red Cliffs Dog Park - survey

Please open the link:  https://yoursay.mildura.vic.gov.au/redcliffsdogparkproject and have your your say re a dog park in Red Cliffs.  (Hard copies of the survey are available at the Red Cliffs Library, the Red Cliffs Resource Centre and Coffee on Indi).

This survey is to get community feedback and be prepared in the likelihood Mildura Rural City Council successfully obtains funding to install a dog park in Red Cliffs.

Identifying the right location for the dog park is important to the success and safety of the facility and to ensure that there is an acceptable level of surrounding locality. The right location must adequately address the following “site assessment” as identified by the Mildura Rural City Council Off Leash Dog Park Development Guidelines:

• Be easily accessible by road
• Have adequate space for off-street parking
• Have connections to existing pedestrian paths and trails
• Located within walking distance to public toilets
• Be a reasonable distance from children’s playground
• Be within walking distance of residential areas
• Have good surveillance from public areas (not an isolated site)
• Have good drainage
• Close to existing services ie. potable water
• Be a relatively flat site
• Some natural vegetation for shade
• Ideally a larger sized area is preferable. An area between 2,500 and 3,000 square       metres allows more opportunities to create different activity areas (ie. passive and active spaces) within the park. A larger space will help minimise overcrowding and potential dog-dog conflict, and overuse of ground surfaces.

 Please contact Jarrod Lehman, Community Development Officer, Mildura Rural City Council, with any questions you may have.
