Help us develop the new Domestic Animal Management Plan 2026-29

Every four years Darebin City Council reviews its Domestic Animal Management Plan (DAMP). The Plan outlines how the City will manage domestic animals like dogs and cats. It includes a range of solutions and supports for the management of domestic animals. It directs how Council invests its time and resources to the safety and wellbeing of the wider community.

The new DAMP 2026-29 will be implemented in partnership with Whittlesea and Merri-bek Councils and a range of key partners in the community.

We would like to hear your animal management needs and priorities are and how we could address them. Is there more we can do to improve the welfare of animals in Darebin?
