Kiama Council is seeking community feedback on five proposed designs for a new fenced dog off-leash area (FOLA) in Jamberoo, located on the corner of Churchill Street and Gibson Crescent.

This project responds to strong community interest, including a 500-signature petition and community engagement results from the Dog Friendly Spaces Strategy, which highlighted Jamberoo’s need for a dedicated dog park. After assessing six locations, this site was deemed more suitable.

Thanks to NSW Government grant funding and Council contributions, five design options have been developed. These vary in size, layout and access points, with some offering separate areas for small and large dogs.

We want to hear from you! Which option do you like best? Your feedback will help shape the final design and ensure the park meets community needs.

If you'd prefer to download a PDF, you'll find it in the Document Library.
