WHEN USING COUNCIL’S OFF-LEASH AREAS, PLEASE ENSURE:
RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP • Make sure you register your pet with Fairfield City Council. Registering your pet and keeping your records updated assists in the return of your pet to you if it is ever lost. Registration can be done online at www.petregistry.nsw.gov.au, over the phone or in person. Visit www.fairfieldcity.nsw.gov.au for details. A one-off lifetime fee applies. • Please consider desexing your dog to avoid unwanted litters of puppies. • Make sure your dog is kept on a lead whenever in public, and is being controlled by a responsible and able person. This is for the safety of the public and your dog. • Please clean up after your dog when in public or at our dog parks. Please take any dog droppings with you or dispose of them in a bin. Fines apply for not doing so. • Take your dog out for regular exercise to ensure it remains fit and healthy. It is also a great way to improve your own health!
Your dog is under the effective control of a competent person (maximum 4 dogs allowed per person). Your dog will return to you when called. Your dog is not a nuisance to other dogs or their owners. Dogs declared menacing, dangerous or a restricted breed, are prohibited in off-leash areas. Owners are liable under legislation if their dog attacks a person or animal. Dogs must be on a lead when outside the off-leash parks. Please leave your dog droppings in the bins provided and close the gate properly when entering or leaving the off-leash enclosures. No smoking and no alcohol is permitted in Council parks. For enquiries or to report damage please call 9725 0222.
KNOW YOUR OFF-LEASH DOG PARKS
IN FAIRFIELD CITY
FROM YOUR MAYOR Frank Carbone Our City’s biggest off-leash dog park at Fairfield Showground is now open. This new park is in the heart of our City to give everyone’s best friend more spaces to play and be healthy. It has multiple, well lit spaces for big and small dogs to play with their owners and other dogs safely at a time that suits them. There will also be plenty of parking and amenities available. We know that it’s not just our residents who love open spaces to play in. As backyards get smaller, our four-legged friends also need space to exercise. That’s why we are committed to expanding the number of off-leash dog parks for our community. Council has five, fully-fenced off-leash dog parks in our City and demand for more dedicated spaces is strong. There are currently more than 43,600 dogs in our City and we want them to have every opportunity to be fit and healthy while staying safe. We have plans to build even more so that every family in the City has an off-leash park within short driving or walking distance. I hope you love your new dog park. When you’re out and about with your dog, please be a responsible owner and clean up after them as you go and keep them under your control at all times.
Frank Carbone Mayor of Fairfield City
