Overview
Regand Park is envisioned as a vibrant parkland that offers a range of active and passive recreation opportunities. More intensive uses are focused towards the north at Tamworth Street, while further south the park maintains an emphasis on environmental regeneration and passive recreation.
Funding is currently under application for the following elements identified in the map below;
- South Dubbo Weir picnic area - (7)
- Internal road & trail network - (2)
- River Red Gum planting - (4)
- Leash Free Area, relocated from (23) to (11)
To bring these elements of the approved master plan into action, our team will embark on a comprehensive design and scoping process. This will enable us to gain a thorough understanding of the project and develop a detailed project plan for its realisation.
We will continue to seek further funding opportunities to deliver on elements outlined within Area 4 of the South Dubbo Precinct.
Our engagement activities with the community will be ongoing to enhance understanding and awareness of projects as they become realised.
Funded for delivery
⭐11 | LEASH FREE AREA
Council have dedicated an area of approximately ¾ hectare, as a dog leash free area, further enhancing the vision of a vibrant parkland in the Regand Park Precinct, which forms part of the Macquarie River Master Plan North and South Precinct. The leash free area will provide dog owners a safe and secure environment for them to exercise their dogs.
The leash free area is designed to feature a separated large and small dog space, sheltered areas, a water station, airlock access gates and solar lighting to allow pet owners to fully experience leash free leisure with their pets.
Funding
Council have allowed a budget of $47,000 for initial site works of the leash free area, pending a successful grant application.
Scope of Works
These initial works will include site preparation, installation of irrigation and erection of fencing and are proposed, with commencement date to be scheduled.
Additional funding will need to be identified to deliver the full concept and design. Council will continue to seek funding opportunities to realise the full concept and design and will keep the community informed if these become available.
The Leash Free Area design forms part of the Macquarie River Master Plan Regand Park South Precinct, ongoing consultation is underway with feedback open until the 9am, 12 February 2024 on the Leash Free Area.
