Animal control

Total confidentiality is guaranteed when contacting the Council and reporting a complaint.

The Council’s Animal Control Unit operates a 24 hour, 7 days a week service.

We will respond to call outs on matters associated with control of dogs and animals. We are especially responsive to roaming stock and attacks or threatening behaviour from dogs; in these situations, we will respond as quickly as possible to eliminate the risk.
