07.01.2022 This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Euroa. We are not asking for special consideration, we are simply asking ARTC to adhere to standard design principl...es. All public construction authorities have strict guidelines to ensure they deliver the BEST outcome not the easiest, not the cheapest, not the quickest. Does ARTC think it’s okay to overlook these principles ? We want to see how they arrived at the current solution because so far they have presented NO technical evidence of why other options are not feasible . . . See more

07.01.2022 Several months ago we asked our community what locations would make a suitable off-leash dog park and we're pleased to finally announce the Euroa Showgrounds ha...s been selected as the preferred location for Euroa This was the most popular suggestion from our community for their furry friends to roam free! After going through a community engagement process and checking locations for suitability, the following was decided at last night's Council Meeting: The Euroa Kennel Club section of the Euroa Showgrounds will be the location for the off-leash dog park Council will negotiate and enter into an agreement with the Euroa Agricultural Society for the use of part of their land for the dog park Once agreement is entered into, Council will undertake some maintenance and minor works to get the site ready, including some fencing, a gate, dog bag dispenser and ongoing toilet maintenance Receive a report at a future Council meeting regarding a potential site for a Dogs Off Leash area in Nagambie due to none of the suggested sites for Nagambie being suitable The minutes from this meeting will be available later in the week.
