New Area - Cnr Waverley and Jells Rds
"Council has approved this area for off leash use as the result of a community request.
It will provide a great new recreation area for responsible local dog owners and their animals to enjoy," said Mayor Paul Klisaris.
There are currently around 14,500 dogs registered in the City of Monash and 30 off leash designated areas.
Dogs using off leash areas must still be kept under effective control by their owners.
A dog may be exercised off a chain, cord or leash in a designated reserve if the owner:- Carries a chain, cord or leash to bring the dog under effective control if it behaves in a manner, which threatens any person or animal.
- Remains in effective voice or hand management of the dog so as to be able to promptly place the dog on a chain, cord or leash if necessary.
- Does not allow the dog to worry or threaten any person or animal.
- Always keeps the dog in sight.
- Carries a bag, receptacle or other means of picking up the dog's faeces and removing it from the public place.
