Dogs now have more room to move at Lake Claremont, after the local council expanded its off-lead dog exercise area.
The added area is immediately adjacent to an existing off-lead area on the eastern side of the lake.
Claremont mayor Peter Telford said the extra area would provide more space for dogs and their owners while protecting the reserve’s environmental value.
“Lake Claremont is one of our community’s most popular recreation spaces, and this expansion strikes a practical balance between providing more room for responsible dog exercise while protecting the environmental values that make the lake so special,” he said.
The expanded area will be marked with logs, new tree plantings and signage over the next few months.
Community safety officers would patrol the area to ensure dogs remain under their handler’s control while on and off-leash in the area.
All dogs must be on a leash in public places unless they are within a designated off-lead dog exercise area.
A map showing dog exercise areas can be found the the council’s website.
