During March/April 2024, we ran a consultation on the proposed location for a dog-friendly space within Endeavour Hills. The City of Casey had been invited by the Department of Energy, Environment, and Climate Action (DEECA) to apply for funding to establish a dog-friendly space within Endeavour Hills. There were three potential locations for community feedback. Essex Park Reserve was the preferred location, with 59% of the community feedback.

During the consultation period, the community told us they wanted to see features at the dog-friendly park to complement the activities of their dogs, including;

• Confident and shy dog zones
• Digging and sniffing spaces
• Shelter (for dogs and humans)
• Multiple entry/exit points
• Fencing

These ideas have been captured in our concept designs, and now we need further feedback to understand if we have hit the mark.

We welcome your feedback on the concept and encourage you to share your thoughts.

To share your feedback or for more information, please get in touch via the following methods:

• Online via the survey on this page below.
• Email Di Jin, Landscape Architect, djin@casey.vic.gov.au
• Phone 03 9705 5200
• Post to City of Casey, PO Box 1000 Narre Warren, Victoria 3805
• Anonymously via the postal, phone or email details above.

What happens next

Officers will assess the feedback to design final drawings, to be shared with the community by the end of August, and commence the tender process for construction to be complete by the end of June 2026.
