FOMDAC meets regularly at the Council office. Our meetings are usually attended by a Manningham Council officer. FOMDAC has become an incorporated body, and is actively seeking general members with the aim of broad representation of pet owners in Manningham.

We hope many of Manningham’s pet owners will join so they can be kept informed of relevant issues and together with an active committee, encourage Council to consider pets and their owners in planning, strategy and expenditure.

FOMDAC grew out of the community consultation when Council when Council was developing its Domestic Animal Strategy. Since its official formation in 1999 has worked tirelessly to reinforce the Strategy’s statement:

To promote and facilitate responsible ownership and the benefits of animal companionship focusing on the legitimate needs of pets and their owners while respecting the rights of other members of the community and protecting the environment.

It is a statement similar in intent to that of FOMDAC’s mission statement.

FOMDAC has become an incorporated body and is actively seeking general members to help its work in representing Manningham pets and their owners. Members are kept informed of relevant issues and alerted to potential changes in legislation and regulation. They are represented by a committee actively encouraging Council to respect the integrity of its own mission in planning, strategy and expenditure.
