Background

By 2024, there will be around 24,000 dogs and 20,000 cats in Cockburn. As our furry family grows, so does the need for clear objectives on driving responsible pet ownership and ensuring that facilities are appropriately accessible and equipped to manage the growing population of pets.

Using insight from the community, a draft Animal Management & Exercise Plan has been compiled. This plan is only a draft and needs your feedback and ideas for improvement. A finalised plan will be presented to Council for adoption in September 2020. The purpose of this draft plan is to:

  • Encourage responsible dog and cat ownership
  • Provide sufficient, safe spaces for pets, people and wildlife
  • Manage feral cats
  • Embrace digital technology initiatives in animal management.
