Managing pets in Glen Eira
We’re developing a new Domestic Animal Management Plan for 2026–2029.
We’re developing a new Domestic Animal Management Plan (the Plan) to guide how we manage dogs and cats in Glen Eira from 2026 to 2029.
Pets are an important part of life for many Glen Eira residents, and they bring joy, companionship and connection.
In 2024–25, we’ve registered over 12,000 dogs and 4,000 cats — so we know how much our residents care about their furry family members.
But when not well managed, animals can also cause nuisance or safety concerns. That’s why it’s important to have a clear and balanced approach that reflects our community’s needs and expectations.
Whether you own a pet or not, we want to hear your ideas, experiences and concerns — to make sure the new Plan reflects our whole community.
Have your say by Wednesday 1 October 2025.

Road Management Plan
We know how much the Glen Eira community cares about safe, well-maintained roads and paths.
In 2025, you told us that footpaths and local roads were among your top five priorities for improvement. And in our annual Community Satisfaction Survey, Glen Eira continues to rate above the statewide average for the condition of local streets and footpaths.
What's the plan?
Council is responsible for 499 kilometres of roads, 832 kilometres of kerb and channel, and 868 kilometres of pathways. Every council must have a Road Management Plan to help us look after these valued assets.
The Plan explains how we keep roads and paths safe and accessible for everyone. It sets out how often we inspect roads and pathways, what counts as a defect, and how quickly we make repairs.
We regularly review our Road Management Plan and make sure to update it after each council election so it's still fit for purpose. Following a thorough review, we're proposing some small changes.
Community engagement is open until Tuesday 28 October, 5pm.
