Recreation Plan 2013-2017 Consultation

Banyule City Council is in the process of developing a new Recreation Plan to identify key priorities for sport, leisure and recreation facilities and services for 2013-2017.

As a result of consultation to date, we have developed eight consultation themes, which we have outlined in the document below. These themes will help shape the priority areas for the Recreation Plan.

If you have any feedback on these themes please contact Julie Allan via email at julie.allan@banyule.vic.gov.au.

Managing Domestic Animals

Companion animals play an important part in people's lives and pets that are well managed cause few problems.

Council is developing a new four-year Domestic Animal Management Plan in accordance with the Victorian Domestic Animals Act 1994.

Amongst other things, this plan outlines programs, services and strategies to promote and encourage responsible ownership of dogs and cats, minimise the risk of attacks by dogs, address over population, encourage animal registration, and effectively identify dangerous dogs, menacing dogs and restricted breeds, ensuring they are kept in compliance with the Act and regulations.

The Draft Domestic Animal Management Plan can be viewed at www.banyule.vic.gov.au/animals  or at our Customer Service Centres. It is available for community comment until 31 May. Feedback can be provided by sending an email to enquiries@banyule.vic.gov.au  or Banyule City Council, PO Box 51, Ivanhoe 3079, marked attention Jenny Cotterell.
