Council is calling on all pet owners and non-pet owners in Yarra to have their say on our draft Domestic Animal Management Plan 2026-29, which helps us manage dogs and cats in our city.
This document guides:
- our approach to responsible pet ownership
- how we handle stray or nuisance animals
- how we manage shared spaces
- our education programs and initiatives for locals
- how we train our authorised officers
- how we can improve our service
We know the impact our furry friends have on our community’s lives so we invite you to review the draft Domestic Animal Management Plan 2026-29 before it is considered for adoption by Council.
Have your say
Now is the chance for all pet owners, non-pet owners and animal lovers to share their feedback on the draft Domestic Animal Management Plan before the consultation closes at 9am on Monday 16 June 2025.
