Animal Management Plan
Council's Animal Management Plan 2023-2028 was endorsed by Council at it's Ordinary Meeting on 18 September 2023.
The Animal Management Plan has been prepared by the District Council of Grant as a planned approach to undertake its responsibilities under the Dog and Cat Management Act 1995.
This document is an over arching document which will guide animal management by the District Council of Grant over the next 5 years. The Plan identifies strategies and actions to implement the mission, aims and objectives for animal management, and relates these back to the wider policy context.

Injured Animals
Injured animals are everyone’s responsibility. If you hit a dog or cat whilst driving, you are legally required to stop and seek assistance for the animal by ringing a vet. If you find an injured animal, call the RSPCA Hotline on 1300 477 722 to report it and follow their instructions on what to do with the animal.
Council officers are not required to attend to injured animals afterhours. Alternatively, Police can be contacted for assistance 24 hours, day 7 days a week.
