Consultation has now closed and we thank you for your feedback.

Council is developing a Domestic Animal Management Plan 2021-2025 (Plan) which is a four-year plan that provides a strategic approach to the delivery of animal management services across the City of Maroondah.

The draft Plan is developed in consultation with Council’s Animal Management Team, and informed by research, benchmarking and consultation activities. The draft plan considers:

• The importance of pets to Maroondah residents
• Concerns about animal-related matters
• Ideas and resources to assist residents to manage and care for their pets
• Dogs in parks and reserves
• How well information provided by Council about pets and animal management addresses the needs of residents

The Domestic Animals Act 1994 Section 68A requires Councils to periodically evaluate any program, service strategy or review outlined in the Plan. The Act requires an annual review of the Plan and an evaluation of its implementation which is published in Council’s Annual Report.
