                    As our city’s population grows, so does the number of pets who inhabit our city. Our aim is to ensure they have a safe and fun place to live and play.

                    Each Victorian council is required to prepare a domestic animal management plan at four-yearly intervals. Domestic Animal Management Plans focus on cats and dogs specifically and outline the key issues, objectives and priorities for how these will be managed.

                    Our Domestic Animal Management Plan 2022–2025 covers issues such as registration and identification, nuisance, dog attacks, dangerous menacing and restricted breed dogs, overpopulation and domestic animal businesses. We aim to minimise the nuisance and possible danger created by some cats and dogs.

                    The Domestic Animal Management Plan 2022–2025 has been developed in consultation with the community.
