Hume council is seeking feedback on its Domestic Animal Management Plan 2023-2026, which is currently under review.
Under the Domestic Animals Act 1994 (Vic), every Victorian local government must develop and implement a Domestic Animal Management Plan.
This plan outlines how council will manage dogs, cats and other domestic animals within the community, aiming to promote responsible pet ownership and the protection of the community and environment from pets.
In its review of the current plan, council is seeking the community’s thoughts on responsible dog and dog owner behaviours, responsible cat and cat owner behaviours, the introduction of a cat curfew in Hume, and council’s current domestic animal management local laws and programs.
This feedback will then shape the priorities for the new Domestic Animal Management Plan.
To have your say, you can fill out a survey on council’s website, or email or call the City Laws team at participate@hume.vic.gov.au or 9205 2200.
Feedback is open now, and will close on Sunday, June 22.
