Member Noticeboard

We are pleased to confirm major drainage works project has been approved by Dogs Victoria Finance & Management Committee for outdoor area 6 (behind the pavilion and rooms 3 & 4) The works will commence from Wednesday 12 February and continue for up to four to eight weeks depending on the weather.  These works will allow Area 6 to be usable grounds all year around to facilitate more dog sport trials, events and training for the membership.

During this time area 6 will be closed to all members and clubs for any type of training or event for up to four to eight weeks as there will be heavy machinery onsite installing the new drainage and time will be required to fill the site back in and regrow the grass. We ask that everyone observe the signage around the grounds and stay off the closed areas.

Training groups and bookings for this area will be contacted directly to organise an alternate area for use over this time. We thank those in advance who will be affected for their patience during this time, as the long-term benefits to this project will allow KCC Park to be utilised to facilitate even more dog sports and training opportunities for the membership.  

Area 2 will not be affected by the project and will remain open and available during this time.

Updates on the project will be communicated to the membership. Should your committee or club have any questions or wish to discuss the project please email events@dogsvictoria.org.au and it will be passed on to the KCC Park Facilities Committee.
