Dog Management Policy

Project Update

Round 2 engagement has closed now. Thank you for taking the time to make a submission on the Draft Dog Management Policy and Declared Areas.

The next step will be the Council considers the submission received and reviews the new draft Dog Management Policy and Declared Areas.

What is the Dog Management Policy?

The Dog Management Policy is an important document. The Policy:

• outlines what it means to be a responsible dog owner,
• shows where and when dogs can and cannot be exercised,
• determines how the City should implement the policy and ensure responsible dog ownership, and
• ensures the City of Hobart complies with the Dog Control Act 2000.

Next steps

The draft policy and declared areas will be presented to Council for consideration later this year after consideration of the submissions received.
