Your responses to the following questions will help shape the City of Greater Bendigo’s Domestic Animal Management Plan. We are seeking information from both pet owners and people without pets.

The questions in the survey have been developed in accordance with the requirements of the Domestic Animals Act 1994 and the City of Greater Bendigo Local Laws. The survey includes questions in relation to:

• Demographics
• Responsible pet ownership and education
• Registration and Identification of cats and dogs
• Desexing of cats and dogs
• Dog faeces management
• Keeping of Animals Local Law
• Off/On lead areas (access to public spaces)
• Cat control
• Dog attacks
• Nuisance animals and enforcement

The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete and is open to all residents of the City of Greater Bendigo (the City). The information collected is strictly confidential, and will only be used for the purpose for which it is collected. It will not be used to identify you, but rather assist with collating and analysing the data received from the survey.

For all questions, please select the answer which most aligns with your opinion/belief. There are some opportunities to elaborate on your answer, and there is additional space at the end of the survey to add any other information you would like us to consider.
