Dog Exercise Area - Lot 8053 Tourmaline Boulevard, Byford

Consultation has concluded and a decision has been made.

Dog Exercise Area

Outcome

The dog park at Lot 8053 Tourmaline Boulevard, Byford, was specified as an off-leash dog exercise area by Council at its meeting in November 2022.

The dog park is now open to the public, with separate areas for large and small dogs.

It also features seating, shade, sandpits and exercise obstacles for dogs.

Background

Subdivision group LWP will install a dog exercise area at Lot 8053 Tourmaline Boulevard, Byford, with the project expected to be complete by late 2022/early 2023.

LWP will maintain the dog exercise area for two years, after which time the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale will assume maintenance of the park.

The Shire has received community feedback regarding the amenity of the area and public comments have now closed.

Lot 8053 will be public open space, with the southern end having an enclosed dog exercise area. Dogs will be permitted to be off lead within the enclosed area, requiring dogs to be held or tethered by lead at all times outside of the fenced area.

This park will have both a small dog area and a big dog area divided by fence.

There will be the opportunity for local groups to hire a portion of the exercise area for dog training and similar exercises, this is currently proposed for weekends and for a maximum two hours total per weekend day.

Share Why is another dog park being built in Byford? They already have at least one I know of near the horse training area in Byford. What about serpentine or mundijong, people out here have dogs and no park to take them to unless they want to drive all the way over to Byford, it would be closer for me to use Baldivis dog park and cross shires. on Facebook Share Why is another dog park being built in Byford?

Serpresi14 asked about 2 years ago

This dog park is being implemented by the developer as a response to community requests for a dog park to be in the area.
There is currently two dog exercise areas in the Shire - Byford and Jarrahdale.
The current exercise areas have been implemented due to a multitude of factors including available locations, public demand and amount of dogs registered in the area.
The request for dog exercise areas is significantly lower in rural areas or areas with larger block sizes in comparison to Byford, where the average block size is approximately 350m2.
If public demand was prevalent for another area, Shire would consider these requests upon receival.
