According to the Domestic (Feral and Nuisance) Animals Act 1994, an animal can be classified a nuisance if it:
- injures or endangers the health of any person, or
- creates a noise, by barking or otherwise, which persistently occurs or continues to such a degree or extent that it unreasonably interferes with the peace, comfort or convenience of other people in any other premises.
If you're affected by an animal creating a nuisance, first contact the owner and advise them of your concerns.
If this doesn't resolve the issue, contact the City for advice. Council may investigate and take appropriate action.
