FREE dog poo bags will soon be available at dog parks across Kingston.
Council trialled the free bag system for six months, and has made the call to implement it permanently.
The mayor Georgina Oxley said “my dog Banjo and I love to get exercise at Kingston’s fantastic off leash areas but it’s important all dog owners do the right thing and pick up after their pooches, so everyone in the community can enjoy our reserves, parks and beaches.”
“We are making it easier for dog owners and will be providing dog litter bag dispensers at select off leash parks and reserves across Kingston. Council will also look to expand this to other larger, popular dog off leash reserves,” she said.
Council has discussed implementing the free bags at Roy Dore Reserve, Bicentennial Park, Iluka Reserve, Bonbeach Sports Reserve, Glen Street Reserve, Kevin Hayes Reserve, Farm Road Reserve, Kingston Heath Reserve, Reg Marlow Park, Spring Road Reserve, Namatjira Park, Moorabbin Reserve, and Bald Hill Park.
