Help Shape the Domestic Animal Management Plan 2026-29

Brimbank City Council is planning ahead to ensure we continue to support pets, their owners, and the wider community. We're currently developing a new Domestic Animal Management Plan to guide our approach to animal management over the next four years.

The Plan outlines how we care for and manage cats and dogs in Brimbank. It focuses on promoting responsible pet ownership, community safety and reducing the impact of nuisance behaviours on the community and environment.

Why Your Feedback Matters

The plan guides Council to make informed decisions about how we invests time and resources, supports pet owners, manages domestic animals, and keeps our community safe.

Your feedback will help us understand what matters most to you and identify any emerging issues. Together, we can shape a plan that reflects Brimbank’s needs, now and into the future.
