Dog and Cat Management Plan
Thank you for your interest. This consultation has concluded and results are posted in the Library section of this consultation.
The City of Burnside is reviewing the Dog and Cat Management Plan to encourage responsible pet ownership of both cats and dogs throughout the community.
The development of an Animal Management Plan for the management of dogs and cats within the Council area is a requirement under the Dog and Cat Management Act 1995.
The City of Burnside covers 30 square kilometres, with a residential population of approximately 42,000 and 19,000 dwellings. In the 2010/11 financial year there were 5,019 dogs registered in the City.
The City of Burnside is now reviewing its Dog and Cat Management Plan approved in 2007. The Dog and Cat Management Act 1995 requires every Council in South Australia to prepare a plan every five years.
