The results:

Due to strong community interest in having a dog park in Altona Meadows, from late October 2018 to early January 2019, Council consulted with the community about a proposed fully fenced area in which dogs can run leash-free at Altona Meadows Community Park. The proposed zone is in the southern section of the park locatedbetween Docker Court and Woodyard Court.
