Community Update - Off Leash Dog Park

Council would like to inform the Livingstone community that the construction of the off-leash dog park at Olive Dorey Park has been delayed due to the unavailability of some of the materials required to build the facility. 

The park, located on Clayton Road, Lammermoor is the first of its kind constructed within the Shire and will have many benefits for dogs and their owners. 

Construction is now scheduled to take place from 1 March, 2021, with the help of Skilling Queensland staff, which has provided an ability for Council to keep the quality of the end product high, while lowering construction labour costs. 

The park will be constructed throughout March and the team anticipates the fenced area will be completed, weather permitting, by the end of March, 2021. 

Once complete, the area will provide the opportunity for dogs to exercise, socialise with other dogs, enjoy the fresh air, practice training techniques, play games, and burn off energy. 

The fully enclosed area will also include facilities such as seating, water, and dog waste bins which make it clear that dogs are invited, not just permitted.

The community will be informed on the opening date of the park as soon as possible. 

Council would like to apologise to the community for the delay, and it looks forward to welcoming park users and their pets to the facility as soon as possible.
