Background

Dogs are adequately confined by fence, gate, enclosure or other confinement measures.
Dogs are not a nuisance.
The requirement to pick up excrement after your dog.

Hi, thanks for your question,
According to the Dog Act 1976, a dog is a nuisance if the dog persistently makes a noise by barking or otherwise to the degree that it unreasonably interferes with the peace, comfort or convenience of any person in any place. In addition, it is a nuisance when barking exceeds a prescribed noise level and if it reoccurs over time.
For further information, please call the Shire on (08) 9526 1111.
