Last Days To Share Feedback On Dogs and Cats

Last days to share feedback on dogs and cats

Listen

Thursday, 27 March 2025

We are seeking your thoughts and ideas on how we can best manage dogs and cats in Knox for the next four years.

Community feedback is open until Sunday 13 April.

Your feedback will help us ensure we balance the needs and expectations from pet and non-pet owners in our community because responsible pet ownership benefits everyone.

Since community consultation started on 24 February, we have received over 220 submissions from both pet and non-pet owners, and representatives of animal organisations and community groups.

We would like to extend a big thank you to all the residents and organisations for participating in the community consultation.

There are about 16,640 registered dogs and 6,482 registered cats in Knox.

Pet owners have shared with us how important their dog or cat is to them and their family, and provided a range of ideas and suggestions to improve Council’s animal management services.

Non-pet owners have also been invited to share their thoughts and experiences on topics such as dog off leash areas in parks and reserves, to help us ensure Knox is a great place to live and play for our entire community.

Your feedback will help shape the new draft Domestic Animal Management Plan.

In coming months, Council will review community feedback and develop the draft Domestic Animal Management Plan for further community consultation later this year.
