Council's Dog Management Policy, works together with the Dog Control Act 2000 to ensure dog owners are responsible for their animals.

Responsible dog ownership requires a dog owner to accept full responsibility for meeting all the care and attention needs of their dog and for ensuring their dog does not become a threat or nuisance to the safety or welfare of any other person or animal.  

To discuss an issue with a barking dog please contact Council Offices on 03 6430 5700.
