Dog Recreation Needs Study
This report documents a review and update of the 2010 Study and provides recommendations in accordance with current ‘best practice’ in the provision of dog exercise areas and the needs of a population that is now much larger than when the initial Study was undertaken nearly 10 years ago.
The report’s conclusions and recommendations are based on detailed reviews of:
- Dog ownership patterns and trends – nationally and locally
- Types and benefits of dog off-leash facilities
- Existing dog off-leash facilities in the City of Ryde
- Benchmarking against Sydney North District Councils
- Best practice in dog off-leash area planning, design and management
- Stakeholder and community engagement
