Planning for dogs, cats and shared spaces
We are developing a Dog and Cat Management and Exercise Plan to help guide the future of animal management services, dog exercise areas, responsible pet ownership programs and animal welfare initiatives.
As our community grows and changes, it's important that our parks, reserves and public spaces continue to meet the needs of pet owners, non-pet owners, wildlife and the broader community.
We want your feedback on a range of topics including:
- Dog exercise areas (on-lead, off-lead, and prohibited areas)
- Responsible cat and dog ownership
- Cat containment
- Animal welfare
- Community safety and compliance
Your feedback will help inform future planning, policies, services and infrastructure.
