Update: October 2026
In September -after three years of uncertainty- it was agreed to reinstate the dog-free fenced area in Blakers Park under a Public Space Protection Order.
We now await the legal validation and installation of official signs.
Background
In 2023 the dog free status bylaw was queried by a member of the public. Its designation was checked by the Council and as no record was found they removed the signs.
At that time, we as Friends of Blakers Park were not informed by the Council but when the signs disappeared we made several attempts to find out what was going on and how the dog free status might be reinstated which has now taken place.
Meanwhile we ask that everyone keep the area as clean and safe as possible.
