  5. Animal By-Laws and Infringement Offences

It’s the responsibility of a pet owner to ensure their animal is contained to their property, behaves in an acceptable manner and does not cause a nuisance to neighbouring properties.

Council is committed to delivering effective animal management throughout the Municipality to create a harmonious community for pet owners and non-pet owners.

Council's Animal By-Laws set out what is acceptable and what is not.

Council enforces these By-Laws. The aim is always to avoid issues with pets in our community. Where necessary infringement notices (fines) are issued.

Do you understand what dog or cat behaviour is considered an offence?
