Have your say on future works at Sydenham Basin Reserve dog off leash area.
Tell us what you like or dislike about the existing space and what you would like to see in the space.
Your feedback is important in helping Council create a space that meets your needs.
The draft concept plan aims to:
- Create a safe and welcoming environment for dogs and their owners.
- Promote physical activity and social interaction for both dogs and their owners.
- Enhance the natural landscape and biodiversity within the park.
- Provide facilities and amenities that cater to a variety of activities and needs.
The proposed dog park may feature:
- partial fencing to support safety
- a circuit path around the site with sensory sniff stops for dogs
- a shelter for shade and comfort
- active and calm zones with a variety of plants
- ample seating for owners to relax and watch their dogs play
- drinking water fountain.

This project forms part of Council’s ongoing implementation of the Creating Better Parks Policy and Plan.
Council believes these ideas will make a great space for dogs and their owners. However, as this site is a retarding basin the proposed works are subject to Melbourne Water approval and may change.
To have your say:
Community feedback is vital to the success of this project. Your input will influence the design and features of the park. Help us create a space that you will enjoy!
We would like to hear from children too, so it would be great if parents and carers could help them submit their feedback.
You can provide feedback by:
- attending the listening post event at the park on Saturday 16 November 2024, 10am-12 noon. Sydenham Basin Reserve, Sydenham (near Delbridge Drive), 557-563 Melton Highway, Sydenham
- have your say online at www.yoursay.brimbank.vic.gov.au
