Dog and Cat Management Plan

About the Dog and Cat Management Plan

Under the Dog and Cat Management Act 1995, each council must prepare and adopt a plan which relates to how it will manage dogs and cats in its local area.

To ensure that this plan is up to date with the needs of our ever-growing community, our Council regularly reviews and updates the plan, following a period of consultation with our public.

The plan is reviewed every 5 years and we are required to meet a number of legislative objectives, as well as those of our community.

We undertook a review of our Dog and Cat Management Plan in 2022 and this has now been approved by Council and the Dog and Cat Management Board.

You can view the plan by downloading the Dog and Cat Management Plan 2022-2027.
