Animal welfare

Kathleen MATTHEWS-WARD (Broadmeadows) (10:29): It was also great to be with the mayor on Friday at the official opening of the new dog parks in Glenroy and Fawkner and hear about the difference these investments make to so many locals, including a woman who can safely let her guide dog off lead for the first time in her life. Animal welfare continues to be a priority for the Allan Labor government, and Lort Smith were overjoyed at the news of their successful funding application to build an enrichment park in Campbellfield, because shelter dogs also deserve space to explore and exercise.
