Companion Animals Management Plan 2011-2014

This consultation has concluded.

Public comment is invited on the draft Companion Animals Management Plan 2011-2014.

The Companion Animals Act 1998 makes local government responsible for many issues regarding companion dogs and cats. There is a need for the Council to determine an appropriate balance between regulatory and non-regulatory techniques to influence companion animal related activities. The draft Plan outlines the Council's strategic approach to these issues over the next 3 years.

The draft plan provides Council with the opportunity to find the balance between encouragement and support for the social benefits of pet ownership, whilst at the same time indicating a strong commitment to protecting public amenity, safety and the environment.  It guides our actions over the period July 2011 to June 2014.  These actions are grouped under:

  • Microchipping and Registration
  • Animal wellbeing
  • Community living
  • Protection of the natural environment
  • Public amenity and open spaces
  • Pound activities
  • Educational initiatives
  • Compliance issues

 

The document is supported by the Local Orders Policy - Part 1 Animal Management adopted by the Council on 16 March 2010.
