3 INTRODUCTION The City of Greater Geelong is preparing a Domestic Animal Management Plan (the DAM Plan) for in relation to the keeping and management of domestic dogs and cats within the municipality. Council has a legal obligation under the Domestic Animal Act (1994) (the Act) to produce the DAM Plan. The purpose of the Act is to promote animal welfare, responsible pet ownership and to protect the environment. (Appendix 1 contains an overview of the Act). The Domestic Animals Act 1994 requires the DAM Plans to be prepared by Council every four years. The first plan was adopted by the City of Greater Geelong in The City of Greater Geelong is a municipality with great lifestyle and strengths that balances pet ownership with the needs of the community and the environment. With this future plan, the City aims to: Meet its obligations under the Domestic Animals Act. Use a mix of educational and regulatory approaches to facilitate responsible pet ownership. Prioritises animal management strategies during the life of the plan ( ). This background paper has been prepared to provide the community with information on the direction, actions and achievements that has been undertaken during the past four years. The City invites pet owners, members of the community and special interest groups to complete the enclosed survey, providing feedback for the future direction of animal management with the City of Greater Geelong until The survey closes 22 June BACKGROUND The City of Greater Geelong developed the Domestic Animal Management Plan (extended by 12 months) in consultation with community, stakeholders and special interest groups. The plan was adopted by Council in June, The plan was designed to address community expectations in a balanced manner and to reduce the negative impact pets can have on the natural environment and members of the community. Strategic Objective Complementing Councils Vision of Geelong: coast, country and suburbs is the best place to live through prosperous and cohesive communities in an exceptional environment ; the objective of the DAM plan was to facilitate actions within a community that values responsible pet ownership and high standards of animal welfare. Key Actions Council s DAM Plan objectives were achieved and categorised in three key areas: 1. Responsible Pet Ownership 2. Dogs in Public Places 3. Leadership Guiding Principles The following principles that underpinned the actions of the plan with regard to dogs and cats were: The belief that pets contribute to our quality of life. A requirement to balance the needs of those who own pets and those who do not. To value responsible pet ownership. Proactive animal management and education. Ensuring the environment is protected from the negative impacts of dogs and cats. To work in partnership with others. Council to play a leadership role in animal management. Results of 2008 Domestic Animal Management Plan The strategic objectives as identified in the 2008 Domestic Animal Management Plan were addressed over the past four years. A range of activities focusing on compliance issues, policy development, education, promotion and marketing were implemented to achieve outcomes for the identified key actions. Due to the nature and complexity of some of these actions and the constraints due to several unplanned activities ie. legislative changes, several matters remain outstanding. These were: The introduction of compulsory desexing for all pets. Research partnerships to establish pet activity areas. Develop and make available information on pet selection. A snapshot overview of the outcomes achieved can be found at Appendix
4 Dog Control Orders Council adopted and implemented a range of dog control orders throughout the municipality including coastal and open space areas, public places, and areas under the control of other agencies. These dog controls provide residents with the information they need as to where and when they can walk their dog/s on and off lead and other considerations to protect community safety and the environment. Additionally, Council entered into service agreements to conduct dog patrols on land controlled by these other agencies: Corangamite Catchment Management Authority Barwon River (from Queens Park Bridge to Breakwater). Barwon Coast Committee of Management (Black Rock, Thirteenth Beach, Barwon Coast and Ocean Grove). Existing dog controls have been adopted by Government Gazette and are enforceable by Council. Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee of Management - the land manager for the coastal towns of St Leonards, Indented Heads and Portarlington, have liaised with Council on its proposed dog control orders. Council is seeking community feedback in terms of dog controls that ensure safety, environmental protection and nuisance minimisation. (See Appendix 4 for a list and maps of the current dog controls). Department of Primary Industries The Department of Primary Industries (DPI) - Bureau of Animal Welfare for Victoria is the State Government body responsible to ensure the administration of the Domestic Animals Act including the Domestic Animal Management Plan. For each animal registration the City of Greater Geelong processes, a $2.00 levy for cats and a $3.50 levy for dogs is required to be paid to the DPI. The DPI levy contributes to the development of programs and materials used for: Promotion of responsible dog and cat ownership and animal welfare. Community education in Primary Schools. Research into domestic animal management. Administration of the Act. Current Position Municipal Perspective Population - Geelong is the largest regional city in Victoria with a current population of 225,421 and a total land area of 1250 square kilometres. Annually, the City has an average population growth of 1.51% and it is estimated by the year 2031, the population will be in excess of 303,000. With population growth, comes a likely increase in pet ownership. However, new developments tend to have reduced back yard space which will result in increase use of open space by pet owners and the community. Reduced land sizes may present other challenges, such as nuisance and disturbances etc, and there will be a need to have fair and equitable rules to manage such spaces for all users. Population Population 212, , , , , ,644 Dwellings 91,542 92,913 94,513 96,103 97, ,781 Resourcing The Animal Management team consists of seven officers who are responsible for daily patrols around the municipality including 349 reserves and parks, 1300 kilometres of footpaths and shared used paths, over 115 kilometres of creeks and trails, and a vast coast line from Avalon Beach in the north east, along the Bellarine Peninsula coastline to Breamlea in the south (approximately 100 km s). Key Animal Statistics and Service Delivery Source: population forecasts City of Greater Geelong The City of Greater Geelong has one of the largest dog and cat populations of any Victorian municipality with over 46,695 (based on 2011) registered cats and dogs. Based on DPI data it is believed that there may be considerably more animals in the community than are currently registered 11% unregistered dogs and up to 55% unregistered cats
5 Dog Population The following table provides a snapshot of animal statistics within the municipality for the past four years. It is estimated between 11 14% of dogs remained unregistered during The table also shows an estimated growth dog population until Animal Transactions Dog Registrations Registered Dogs 32,986 33,387 34,084 35,783 Aim is to register all dogs Estimate number of dogs in the municipality based on DPI/Pet 38,218 38,802 39,448 40,053 40,520 42,776 owner ratio - 18 dogs:100 people Estimated Unregistered Dogs 5,232 5,415 5,364 4,270 4,737 6,993 % unregistered 14% 14% 14% 11% 0% Dog Impounds Total Dog Impounds by Council Total Dog Impounds surrendered by Owner Total Dog Impounds by Other Total Dog Impounds Pound Outcomes Total Dogs Rehoused Total Dogs Euthanased Total Dogs Claimed by Owner Key Trends: (1) The direct relationship between dogs at large and dog incidents. (2) The gradual increase in barking dog complaints

7 Cat Population During the past four years with a large cat population many cats/kittens were at risk of being euthanised. Of the 3227 impounded cats for 2011, 205 cats were claimed by their owner, 616 were rehoused and 2406 were euthanased, many of the euthanased cats were kittens. It is estimated that up to 55% of cats are presently unregistered with the City. Councils pound capacity (at times) becomes exhausted due to over population brought about by pet owners not claiming, desexing or microchipping their animals.

8 General Local Law 2005/2006 Within its General Local Law, Council has several clauses relating to the management of domestic animals within the municipality. These include: Dog Excrement ( ) A person: Must not permit excrement of a dog under his or her care of control to remain on a road or Council land; and Who is in charge or control of a dog on a road or Council land must have in his or her possession a dedicated scooper device or bag for the purpose of removing from the road or Council any excrement from that dog deposited on the road or council land. Permitted Number of Dogs and Cats (Part 7) Without the Need for a Permit The permitted number of dogs and cats by various land use zones are based on preserving the amenity of the area and not creating a nuisance or offensive/dangerous conditions to neighbouring or subject properties. Animal residential other rural Dogs 2 allowed 4 allowed No Permit Required Cats 2 allowed 4 allowed No Permit Required Residential area means zoned as residential under the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme. Rural area means zoned as rural under the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme. Other area means zoned other than as Residential or Rural under the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme. The Local Law also requires dog and cat owners to maintain yards and enclosures, in a clean and sanitary manner, and to control any nuisances and disturbances to others. A permit is required to keep more than the number of listed animals. Council assesses each application on its merits to ensure that there is no impact on the neighbourhood prior to issuing permits
9 KEY ISSUES Geelong is a community with one of the largest dog and cat populations of any Victorian municipality. The DAM plan was required to meet its obligations under the Domestic Animals Act, using a mix of educational and regulatory approaches to facilitate responsible pet ownership and to prioritise animal welfare. Key challenges include: The rise in the number of dogs at large and repeat offenders. The increase in the number of dog attacks and menacing dogs. The increase in barking dogs complaints causing distress for the complainant and the owner. The number of nuisance cats. The number of euthanised cats and kittens due to non-desexing and or non-confinement to property. Pet owners not registering their dogs or cats in accordance with the Domestic Animals Act - which prevents the ability to return animals to their owners and places occumpancy pressure on the Pound. Dog control orders are not being observed by some dog owners at times in some locations. Dog owners not picking up their dogs waste or alternatively discarding used litter bags on tracks / paths. The inappropriate selection of pets, and the unsuitability of a pet to a person and/or property. The introduction of restricted breed legislation in 2011 will see the need to schedule 1400 restricted breed audits (pitbull dogs) for 2012/13. The level of unregistered dog and cat breeders causing an over population. This scenario can impact on impound and euthanasia rates and often discarded/rejected animals. Dogs causing a nuisance and not being effectively controlled in off lead areas. The City continues to work actively with the Pound provider and animal shelters to rehome suitable dogs and cats. These pets after the impound period, have been vaccinated, wormed, desexed and temperament tested, prior to being rehoused. Geelong is a growing community. As the population increases, pet ownership is also likely to grow. With an expanding population living in new communities with residential allotments, dog and cat problems/nuisances could escalate in the future if owners do not practice responsible pet ownership principles.

Dog Control Orders Domestic Animal Management Plan Dogs in Public Place Policy - There are over 900 open space areas spread throughout the municipality and predominantly these are off lead areas. Given the feedback of both dog owners and non-owners it was recognised that a balanced approach was required to cater for a mix of on leash and off leash opportunities for dogs and their owners. This policy with the attached maps forms Council s position in relation to on and off leash areas. Off Lead Areas In general, dogs are allowed unleaded in public parks and reserves, unless these are designated as environmentally sensitive areas. On Lead Areas Include All roads and footpaths/nature strips. Shopping centres. Jetties and piers. High use areas (for example the Waterfront Precinct in Geelong). Sporting grounds and ovals during times of organised sports (as defined by a formal booking with council which includes times booked for sports practice/training). Shared use paths or walking paths and the areas within five (5) metres either side of the abutting edge of the path (except those paths located on the Fyansford Common and the shared path on the north side of the river upstream from Queens Park Bridge to Fyansford Common). Within ten (10) metres of children s play equipment. Within ten (10) metres of picnic and barbecue areas (as defined by council provided barbecues and/or table and associated seating). Rivers, creeks and other water bodies (excluding beaches). Generally, these areas are defined as no dog areas unless designated and signposted as a swimming area for dogs. Public open space areas (includes beaches, reserves, parks and playgrounds). In recognition of the broad views that the community had expressed in relation to access to public open space by dogs and their owners; five (5) categories of controls were adopted by Council
