Important update about rates notices
Published on 26 March 2025
Council is inviting the community to have its say on shaping Hobsons Bay’s 2025-29 Domestic Animal Management Plan (DAMP).
The DAMP is developed every four years and guides the work of Council’s animal management team.
The consultation stage allows residents to have their say as to the most important animal management issues facing Hobsons Bay and how Council can approach them over the next four years.
The plan aims to promote responsible pet ownership, manage and evaluate animal safety and welfare, protect the community and the environment from nuisance cats and dogs, as well as authorising how Council officers enforce these practices.
Submissions are open for a month from Friday 28 March to Friday 25 April, with feedback able to be made at participate.hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au
