Last Week to Have Your Say on Auckland’s Dog Rules
From Monday 1 April, Aucklanders can have their say on proposed changes to the Auckland Council Policy on Dogs 2012 and Dog Management Bylaw 2012.
Auckland Council recently completed a review of its policy on dogs and related bylaw so that improvements can be made to the way dogs are managed across the region.
Public consultation is open until 10 May.
Chair of the Regulatory Committee, Councillor Linda Cooper, emphasises that no changes have yet taken effect.
“No changes have or will be made until we hear from Aucklanders about what they think of the proposal. We’ll then look at all the feedback we receive before an amended bylaw is expected to be in place later this year.
“The main aim of the proposed changes is to better communicate existing rules to the public, see more consistency across the region, as well as improving dog management in Auckland.
“Some of the changes people may not be aware of include introducing a consistent approach to multiple dog licensing, extending our ability to change access rules to protect fauna and providing incentives for menacing dogs to be rehabilitated.
“We’ve been really pleased with the number of Aucklanders who have already provided feedback and we encourage others; dog-owners and non-dog owners alike to let us know what they think before the consultation closes on 10 May.”

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
