Animal Management Strategy
Animal management is among Council’s highest customer service areas, with approximately 1,200 enquiries received within a year including complaints about barking or neglected dogs. The Cassowary Coast isn’t unique to these challenges, with Council adopting the first Far North Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils’ (FNQROC) Regional Animal Management Strategy 2023-2033 (Strategy).
Through the Strategy collaboration across councils and stakeholders will provide consistency in Council's approach to better animal management outcomes for communities.
This includes building relationships and partnerships across the Far North, sharing resources, and assisting in day-to-day operations for improved animal management outcomes including responsible pet ownership.
