Have Your Say About Dogs in Open Spaces!
In 2003 Gosford City Council adopted the Dog Exercise Areas Policy in response to community demand for a formalised approach to the provision of dog off leash areas within the Gosford Local Government Area. As this Policy is now due for review, Council would like to hear from residents and visitors to ensure a broad community perspective is considered during the development of the Dogs in Open Spaces Strategy.
Consultation for the development of the Dogs in Open Spaces Strategy has now finished. Further opportunities to provide feedback will be available when the Draft Dogs in Open Spaces Strategy is placed on public exhibition.

Community Consultation Notes
A major component of the development of the Dogs in Open Spaces Strategy has been to gain community feedback on the broad issues associated with dog exercise areas within the Gosford Local Government Area. A variety of means have been used to gather this information including the staging of community workshops held at Umina Surf Life Saving Club on 29 February 2012 and the Erina Centre on 1 March 2012.
Both workshops were well attended with a variety of opinions and ideas discussed. A summary of the discussions held at both workshops can be found within the library on the left hand side of this page.
Updates will continue to be provided on the progress of the development of the Dogs in Open Spaces Strategy as various milestones are reached.

Dogs in Open Spaces Strategy Update
Community consultation for the development of the Dogs in Open Space Areas Strategy finished on 14 March 2012. Council would like to take this opportunity to thank all community members that provided feedback and attended workshops on this matter. Collation and consideration of feedback from the surveys, workshops and online forums is now underway.
Once completed, a draft document will be placed on exhibition for public comment. At this time the local community will once again be able to provide feedback on the proposed strategy.
It is anticipated that public exhibition will occur around May/June 2012. The exhibition of the document, including timeframes for submissions, will be advertised in the Central Coast Express Advocate in the Public Notices section of the paper.
During the public exhibition period the draft document will be available electronically within the library section of this page, Council's website www.gosford.nsw.gov.au and at Council's Customer Service Centres.
