We are looking forward to consulting our community following Friday’s announcement by Victorian Minister for Environment, Steve Dimopoulos, that we will receive grants to upgrade two dog off-lead areas locally.

The grants, totalling $700,000, will see amenities for dog owners improved at Warrandyte Reserve (northern oval) and Burgundy Reserve, Doncaster. Dog parks are an important feature in Manningham’s Public Open Space.

Dog parks are an important feature in Manningham’s Public Open Space. Council will consider further upgrades of other facilities when funding becomes available in the second round of the State Government’s New and Upgraded Dog Parks Program.

We will consult the community prior to delivering final designs for Warrandyte Reserve and Burgundy Reserve early in 2025.

We expect the projects to be delivered in mid-2026 and thank the State Government for their contribution to improvements for our community.
