Works Committee to discuss Auckland City’s dog control bylaw
Political leaders have agreed on wanting a discussion on dog control bylaws brought quickly to the city’s Works
Committee.
Cr Bill Christian, Works Committee chairperson, wants the city to look at whether or not Part 12 of the bylaw should be
strengthened or added to, these include specific sections under 12.2: Dogs in public places: 12.2.1 – Dogs to be
confined to owners property 12.2.2 – Dogs to be under proper control 12.2.5 – Areas where dogs are not allowed 12.2.6 –
Exercise areas 12.2.8 – Dog surveillance
“It’s painfully obvious that we must keep working very hard nationwide to enforce dog control measures in public
places,” says Cr Christian. “I applaud the Minister’s initiative in calling for a revision of bylaws, we must follow in
the same vein.”
