Animal Bylaw, Dog Policy and Domestic Animal Policy Review

HAVE YOUR SAY – WCC proposal for review until 18th October

There is a proposal relevant for our suburb, changes to access on Island Bay beach. In addition, there is a proposal to introduce the requirement for dog owners to carry a means of cleaning up their dog’s poo!

The current policies and bylaws were last reviewed in 2016/17. Since then, there has been a noticeable increase in animal ownership within Wellington City (Wellington).
