Domestic Animal Management Plan 2026-2029 front cover

Our Domestic Animal Management Plan 2026-2029 (PDF 1.1MB) guides our programs, services and strategies for the management of dogs and cats in Brimbank.

With more than 3,000 cats and over 6,700 registered dogs in Brimbank, a strong, proactive approach to domestic animal management is essential to help people, pets, and the environment coexist harmoniously.

The plan outlines a range of programs, services and strategies designed to:

  • Reduce over-population and high euthanasia rates for cats and dogs.

  • Increase registration and microchipping.

  • Support compliance with animal management laws.

  • Ensure animal control services meet community needs.

  • Manage dangerous, menacing and restricted breed dogs.

  • Minimise the risk of dog attacks on people and animals.
