Dog and Cat Management Plan
The Dog and Cat Management Act 1995 (the Act) provides the framework for dog and cat management in South Australia. The Act requires all Councils to develop a Plan for the management of dogs and cats within their area. The Plan is required to be reviewed every five years.
In fulfilling Council’s obligations under Section 26A of the Act, the Dog and Cat Management Plan 2025-2030 will guide Council’s approach to dog and cat management over the next five years.
