Consultation has concluded


The City of Marion has recently revised its Animal Management Plan that will set the strategic direction for dog, cat and other animal management from 2017 to 2022.

During November and December 2016 we consulted on the Draft Animal Management Plan 2017-2022 and provided an opportunity for you to tell us your thoughts.

We are now in the process of collating responses and will provide to Elected Members for consideration in the Final Plan.

The Plan aims to:

  • Promote responsible dog and cat ownership;
  • Provide for the welfare and safety of dogs and cats;
  • Provide community education on aspects of responsible dog and cat ownership;
  • Ensure public safety and enhance the amenity and environment;
  • Harness the benefits of dog and cat ownership;
  • Ensure that the expenditure of registration fees addresses the management of dogs; and
  • Consider other animals and birds as part of the Plan.
