The City of Whittlesea is establishing a new off-leash dog park at Allumba Park in Wollert to meet the growing needs of local dog owners and their pets.

Council has been successful in securing a grant from the Victorian Government’s New and Upgraded Dog Park Program to develop the new dog park in Wollert. We carried out community consultation from 15 July to 12 August for the draft concept plan.

  • ​Next steps 

    The feedback captured will inform any changes or adjustment to the Allumba Park Dog Off-Leash Area concept plan.

    Thank you again to everyone who participated in the community engagement by sharing feedback. The plans for this project will be further refined in the next few months. Construction is scheduled to commence early in 2025.
