Calling for community input
We are refreshing our Domestic Animal Management Plan for 2026-2029, and we're looking for your input.
Your feedback will be compiled and used to amend the Draft Plan before it goes to Council. A copy of the Consultation Summary will also go to our Councillors to help them be fully informed of community priorities when considering the proposed plan.
Background
Every four years, under the Domestic Animals Act 1994, Victorian Councils must prepare a plan outlining how it will manage dogs and cats within its municipal boundaries.
The DAMP identifies how the Shire will:
- Help pets, pet owners and the general community to live harmoniously together
- Protect the environment and local wildlife from the negative impacts of dogs and cats
- Balance the needs of those who own pets with those who do not
- Promote responsible pet ownership
- Improve the experience of animal ownership
