Mayor Jenny Houlihan said “owners and their pets can enjoy a great area now fenced off to allow dogs to run in the area. Certain rules are in place including that all animals need to be registered, to ensure everyone can enjoy the area at the one time.”
Animal owner Steve Cartwright said “we are excited that the trial is underway and it’s great to meet like-minded animal owners. It’s been a long process but worthwhile and we need to work hard so we can make it a permanent fixture for animals in Shepparton”.
