Domestic Animal Management Plan

Every council has a Domestic Animal Management Plan to ensure safety of pets and people.

The plan aims to balance the competing demands of pet owners and the community, and encourages responsible pet ownership.

A Domestic Animal Management Plan has been developed under the Victorian Government requirement outlined in the Domestic (Feral & Nuisance) Animals Act.

The positive affects of animal/pet ownership on health and wellbeing are also recognised.

Animal management issues reviewed as part of this plan included:

  • community safety
  • managing the risk of dog attacks
  • amenity issues resulting from domestic animals in high density living
  • environmental issues such as disposal of dog faeces
  • management of cats in our community
  • signage in public open space
  • community education relating to responsible pet ownership
  • the regulatory framework.
