The Aranga Reserve Dog Park in Donvale is to receive upgrades following Manningham City Councils success in obtaining $200,000 in funding from the Allan Labor Government as part of its New and Upgraded Dog Parks Program.

Additionally, Manningham City Council will be contributing and additional $140,000 to the upgrades.

The upgrades will include the linking of the dog park’s carpark to the Friends of Manningham Dogs and Cats (FOMDAC) headquarters as well as upgraded lighting which will help to improve safety and accessibility.

These upgrades come as part of the Victorian Government’s New and Upgraded Dog Parks Program, which in 2025, awarded nearly $5 million in grants to support 26 projects.
