Draft Domestic Animal Management Plan 2026-29 endorsed by Council


July 2, 2025

The draft Domestic Animal Management Plan 2026-29 (DAMP) was endorsed by the Future Melbourne Committee on 1 July 2025.

The DAMP guides a council’s management of dogs and cats, outlining key issues, objectives, actions and programs which a council will undertake. We used feedback from the first round of consultation to inform the draft plan.

Now that the draft DAMP has been endorsed, we will be conducting a final round of engagement to seek your insights on the draft before we finalise the plan. Consultation will begin from next week.

You can access the meeting notes and watch the livestream from the Future Melbourne Committee meeting.
