With so many furry companions living in our region, Sunshine Coast Council has prepared a draft plan on how we can create a balanced network of dog exercise areas that meet the needs of all residents, while protecting our region's natural beauty, now and into the future.
Council's draft Dog Exercise Area Plan and Network Blueprint is now open for community feedback, and this is your chance to help shape the future of how we share our region's open spaces with our dogs.
Community engagement
Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said the draft plan reflected Council's commitment to creating spaces that supported an active, inclusive and liveable community.
"This plan is about shaping a future network of dog exercise areas across the entire Sunshine Coast - whether that's parks, beaches or recreation reserves - that meet the needs of dog owners while respecting our region's environmental and community values," Mayor Natoli said.
"Your feedback will help ensure we strike the right balance between creating safe recreational spaces for dog owners and non-dog owners alike, while maintaining the natural beauty of our region."
Everyone is encouraged to participate in the online survey or attend one of several pop-up sessions being held across the region.
