Domestic Animal Management Plan

The Domestic Animals Act 1994 (the Act) provides the framework for Dog and Cat Management in Victoria. The Act requires all councils to develop a plan for the management of dogs and cats within its municipality.

In fulfilling Council’s obligations under section 68A of the Act, the Domestic Animal Management Plan guides Council’s approach to domestic animal management over the next 4 years.

The plan provides the framework for Council’s priorities and services delivered to its community. It identifies objectives and strategies to implement the mission, which relates directly to the objects of the Act.
