Dog owners will soon have more room to exercise their pets with Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) endorsing an extension to the Thiess Park dog-off leash area.
As part of the Thiess Park Linear Corridor Parkland Master Plan, TRC Environment and Community Committee Portfolio Lead Cr Tim McMahon said the additional fenced area was the next part of the Master Plan.
"This is a popular area for our community which is why we're providing further investment," Cr McMahon said.
"We have a high number of residents who enjoy exercising their dogs in our dog off-leash areas and we're mindful of providing these spaces to encourage responsible pet ownership.
"To help do this, there will be two separate fenced areas for dogs to play in this park which will allow residents to choose which area they'd prefer to be in."
Work is expected to be completed by the end of this financial year.
