Animal Management and the promotion of responsible animal ownership is a priority for Hope Vale Aboriginal Shire Council.

We want to know what you think about responsible animal ownership – what does it mean to you and how can Council help?

Your input will help inform Council on how we shape responsible animal ownership through a range of services and initiatives such as, educational programs, regulatory enforcement, and animal care. Furthermore, it aims to ensure that animal owners meet their obligations under the Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008 and Local Law No. 2 (Animal Management) 2013.
