Gave feedback to gov about not proceeding with casey dog park construction. Extremely disappointed this has been completely ignored and this is hoing ahead. These facilities r not needed so much wild life use that space which will now be disturbed. It is a natural wildlife pocket why ruin it with stupid feel good not required infrastructure.
what do you think would be another alternative location for fellow residents?
Feedback to the ACT government regarding dog park locations is typically sought through the YourSay website, eg. https://yoursayconversations.act.gov.au/franklin-dog-park
I would question having a dog park near wildlife areas. If any action was considered essential for protection of native flora or fauna, it would be limited due to it’s possible impact on or by domestic animal presence. You must know of others of similar views and their suggested solutions to this question.
The location and development of dog parks is managed by the ACT government – you can find more details at https://www.cityservices.act.gov.au/pets-and-wildlife/domestic-animals/dogs/recreation-with-my-dog
I have a question who moderates comments, who are they paid by? I know this community group seeks full transparency, but this role might be filled by someone outside its bounds.
Comments on the GCC website are moderated by the unpaid volunteers elected to the GCC executive. The GCC receives a very modest grant each year ($12,281) from the ACT government to support its activities. More information about the GCC can be found at https://gcc.asn.au/about-gcc/
