The Litchfield Council Animal Management Strategy and Action Plan 2027 - 2030 establishes Litchfield Council's approach to animal management across the municipality, with a strong focus on public safety, community amenity, responsible ownership, education, compliance and enforcement. The strategy recognises that dogs are valued companions that contribute positively to people's wellbeing, while also acknowledging the need to effectively manage risks associated with nuisance, wandering, menacing and attacking dogs. The strategy supports Council's vision of being "the best place to live in the Top End" by balancing the interests of dog owners and non-dog owners alike.
