Dog owner lobbies for safe park in city

Tracy Kirkley is lobbying to have a special park built for Waitakere city's dog owners.

The Te Atatu resident says it's hard to find a place where she can let her siberian husky Missy off her leash without being a nuisance to others.

"There is no enclosed dog park that I am aware of within the city," she says.

Council public affairs manager Wally Thomas says the idea will be considered as part of a review of the Waitemata Harbour foreshore reserves management plan.

Submissions closed on August 20 and hearings will be held on September 4.

A final decision will be made later in the month.
