MATTER ARISING Cr T Mileto Cr Mileto requested that signage be placed at Gosling Creek to identify Leash Free areas and Dog Free areas including explanations of why the areas are marked as such. |
Cr McRae asked for clarification as to whether Gosling Creek Reserve was a Dog Free area, meaning no dogs allowed.
The Director Development Services stated that was correct. Dogs are not permitted on Gosling Creek Reserve and it is an environmentally sensitive area.
Cr Duffy noted trees along Gardiner Road side of Machin Park were dropping branches.
The Chief Executive Officer stated that staff are undertaking extensive work along this area after some recent storms.
