The Plan outlines Mornington Peninsula Shire’s strategic approach to the delivery of animal management services across the municipality.
The Shire recognises the value of pet ownership, its overall benefit for the community’s health and wellbeing, the importance of welfare of pets, and the protection of the community and environment from nuisance dogs and cats.
This Plan aims to help us enhance our communication, education and awareness of the initiatives being conducted by Council in relation to domestic animals.
The Domestic Animal Management Plan also helps us balance the needs of pet owners with the needs of the rest of our community.
