Dog Control Policy, Practices and Statistics
Section 10A of the Dog Control Act 1996 requires Council to publicly report, each financial year, on the administration of our Dog Control Policy and Practices along with some specified Dog Control related statistics.
Upon adoption and public notification of the report, Council is also required to provide a copy to the Secretary for Local Government.
The content of the report is based on the requirements of the Dog Control Act 1996.
