Thank you to everyone that took the time to share their thoughts during phase 1 of our community engagement for the Animal Management Plan.

After reviewing and evaluating all the input we've received, we are now inviting feedback on the draft Animal Management Plan 2024-2028 by 5pm Friday 10 May. Your insights will help shape the future of animal management in the City of Mitcham.

During phase 1 several key findings emerged on animal management within our community. From responsible pet ownership to environmental conservation, your concerns, values and aspirations have guided us in developing the draft plan.

Some of the focus areas highlighted in your feedback include:

  • Introduction of cat confinement
  • Managing dogs in open space areas
  • Addressing dog attacks and behaviours
  • Strengthening links with vets and other agencies
  • Defining what makes a responsible dog and/or cat owner
  • Utilising QR codes for signage.

Your input is important to ensure that our plan aligns with the needs and priorities of our community. We're committed to delivering activities, strategies, services and programs that support not only cats, dogs and their owners but the entire community over the next five years. While also supporting and encouraging responsible dog and cat ownership.

We welcome your comments and considerations on the draft Animal Management Plan.

In South Australia, the Dog and Cat Management Act 1995 guides Local Government in the management of dogs and cats in the community to:

  • Encourage responsible dog and cat ownership.
  • Reduce public and environmental nuisance caused by dogs and cats.
  • Promote the effective management of dogs and cats.
