Animal Management Plan
The Animal Management Plan was prepared by the Port Augusta City Council (the Council), to provide a planned approach to undertaking its responsibilities pursuant to the Dog and Cat Management Act 1995. The previous Plan (2017-2021) was established with the support of community representatives via the Animal Management Working Party with consultation undertaken with the wider community to gain input into the preparation of the Plan. Council officers undertook a review of the Animal Management Plan in 2021 to obtain endorsement from the Dog and Cat Management Board for the Animal Management Plan 2022-2027.
The Dog and Cat Management Board must approve the plan of management before it takes effect.
This Plan contains a wide range of initiatives to be implemented over a 5 year period and is seen as a vital tool in the promotion and management of responsible pet ownership throughout the city.
The Plan is effective from 1 July 2022 and expires 30 June 2027.
