As a concerned member of the Nunawading community, I have seen firsthand how our local sports clubs are struggling financially. The impact is far-reaching, with many children unable to participate in sports due to their families' financial constraints.

We propose a creative solution that could serve as an additional income stream for these clubs - installing self-service dog wash machines. These machines not only provide a convenient service for pet owners but also generate revenue for the hosting venue.

In Australia, there are approximately 4.8 million pet dogs (source: RSPCA), and this number is growing each year. With the average cost of professional grooming services ranging from $60-$100 per session (source: Mad Paws), many dog owners seek cost-effective alternatives like self-service dog wash stations.

By introducing these machines into our local sports clubs, we can provide an affordable service to pet owners while simultaneously supporting our community's sporting activities.

Let's support our local sports clubs and keep them thriving by signing this petition today!
