On 19 December 2017 Council adopted the Domestic Animal Management Plan (DAMP) to guide Council’s policies and services for pets over the next four years. We have used a range of information to develop the Plan. This includes evaluating current Council programs/policies to understand what is working well and what could be improved, customer service data including registrations, community research to understand needs and opinions, and legislative requirements of Council under the Domestic Animals Act 1994.
Our goal for the Plan is to promote and enhance the benefits of responsible pet ownership while balancing the needs of the whole community to make Bayside a better place for all.
