New Animal Management Centre opens its doors

Mayor Greg Williamson and local laws staff officially opened the new Mackay Animal Management Centre on September 30.

The new facility is three times the size of the existing Animal Management Centre and the upgrades have brought the facility into line with current animal management standards.

The facility features 42 dog enclosures (increased from 18) and 22 cat condos (increased from nine cat cages).The new dog enclosures have also been designed with improved health and safety features, allowing staff to clean one side of the enclosure at a time so they don't need to be in the enclosure with a dog.

We have also introduced larger cages for cats called cat condos, background music for the animals, a hydrobath, and improved security measures such as CCTV cameras throughout the facility.

The customer experience has also been improved by providing more space for residents to interact with pets before deciding to adopt them.

Council's Animal Management Centre is located on Strickland Road, Mackay Harbour, and is open from 11.30am to 1.30pm, Monday to Friday.

If you are interested in adopting a pet, please visit www.mackay.qld.gov.au/poundpets, to see what animals are available.

This project was developed with the support of the Queensland Government's Building our Regions program in association with Mackay Regional Council.
