Animals in public places
When in a public place, the person in charge of the animal is responsible for the removal of faeces that are deposited by their animal. A common way of removal is for the person in charge to carry a plastic shopping bag. You then collect the faeces in the bag and throw it in one of the numerous bins that are provided by Council. On the spot fines apply for breaches.
Please Contact Council's Ranger if you have any enquiries.
