City of Palmerston is committed to providing quality animal management services to our community.

By-Laws govern the way we manage animals in our municipality and a review is needed to improve our service delivery and meet the growing and changing needs of the Palmerston community.

Current status

The full process of By-Law preparation and enactment can take more than 18-24 months, from initial consultation, drafting and publication through to enactment. We are committed to working in partnership with the community to make the new By-Laws as effective as possible, and now we want to hear your feedback.

Community consultation

We're taking feedback on the Animal Management Policy until 4 June 2024. This policy goes hand in hand with the By-Laws, and was drafted following feedback received from the community.
