Proposed Fenced Off Leash Area - Endeavour Park, Kings Langley

Off leash areas provide exercise and socialisation opportunities for dogs and their owners that are not generally offered in most public locations.

This also provides an opportunity for owners to work with their animals thereby reducing anti-social behaviour.

As part of its ongoing commitment to urban animal management,

Council is pleased to advise of the proposed establishment of a

new fenced off leash area at Endeavour Park, Shanke Crescent, Kings Langley.

Please see below for the specific location within the reserve.

How to be involved:

Council now seeks written submissions from interested parties in

relation to this proposed off-leash area. Your involvement will help

ensure that community needs are addressed appropriately.

Written submissions will be accepted up until 5pm on

17 February 2012, addressed to:

Endeavour Park Off Leash Area

Proposed Fenced Off Leash Area - Orana Park

Off leash areas provide exercise opportunities for dogs and their

owners, which are not generally afforded in most public locations.

Off leash areas also provide dogs an opportunity to socialise and

for owners to work with their animals in reducing anti-social

behaviour.

As part of its ongoing commitment to urban animal management,

Council is pleased to advise of the proposed establishment of a

new fenced off leash area within the existing off leash area at Orana Park which is located at Wallpark Avenue and Blacktown Road, Seven Hills. It is proposed that when the fenced off leash area is established the remainder of the current off leash area would revert back to an "on leash area".

Please see below for the specific location within the reserve.
