Reviewed Dog & Cat Management Plan released for comment
Consultation has concluded
Community feedback is invited on Naracoorte Lucindale Council's draft 2024-2029 Dog & Cat Management Plan following a review of the previous five-year plan.
The Dog & Cat Management Plan needs to be reviewed every 5 years under the Dog and Cat Management Act 1995, which provides for the management of dogs and cats in South Australia. The Act also requires Councils to prepare a five-year plan relating to the management of dogs and cats within their Council areas.
Naracoorte Lucindale Council's draft 2024-2029 Dog & Cat Management Plan has been reviewed by the Dog and Cat Management Board which is satisfied that it meets legislative requirements.
The Plan outlines how Council will manage dogs and cats as required by the Dog and Cat Management Act in the following ways:
Encouraging responsible dog and cat ownership;
Ensuring public safety by reducing public and environmental nuisance caused by dogs;
Effectively managing dogs by meeting all legislative requirements;
Community education, including promoting compulsory desexing of dogs and cats;
The management of wandering dogs and cats;
Ensuring Council delivers effective and efficient dog and cat management services.
Council's current position is that it does not manage cats due to the complexities involved with the control, housing and rehoming of cats. However, Council is still required to capture cats within the Plan.
Feedback is invited on the draft 2024-2029 Dog & Cat Management Plan from Tuesday 2 April until COB on Tuesday 23 April 2024.
Pending feedback, the draft Plan will then be endorsed by Council for implementation.
You can read through the draft Plan in the Documents Library at the top of this page.
