''Any rooster-related questions?’' Dunedin mayor Aaron Hawkins asked his fellow councillors at a council meeting on Tuesday.
The question came as the council’s animal bylaw review came up in the council’s agenda, and feathers were quickly ruffled.
Roosters emerged as the prime target, with council community services general manager Simon Pickford revealing Dunedin was one of the few authorities to allow roosters in urban areas.
It was an issue that could drive neighbours '’to distraction’’, and the council needed to consult on the matter to see if there was appetite for change to the current bylaw.
Pickford confirmed in a statement to Stuff that the council was “involved in ongoing legal proceedings relating to multiple complaints of rooster noise emanating from a Pine Hill property”.
“We are unable to comment further on the specifics of the case while the matter remains before the courts.”
Halloween can be a fun way to connect with your community. But naturally not all homes in New Zealand will get involved.

Outspoken councillor Lee Vandervis may be asked to resign over a Code of Conduct matter that will be discussed by the council on Tuesday.
However, six councillors who witnessed the incident, including three who lodged an official complaint, would not be allowed to speak or vote on the matter, after the council received legal advice on the matter.
Vandervis – who allegedly finger pointed and yelled at deputy mayor Christine Garey after a city council meeting on July 28 - will have the opportunity to address the council.
A decision would then be made on whether a breach of the Code of Conduct had occurred and, if so, the resulting penalty.
Penalties could include a letter of censure, a request for an apology, a vote of no confidence, a loss of privileges, suspension from committees, and an invitation to resign.

🍐 My retirement plans took a big hit in my 50s due to the 2008 GFC. Too old for jobs I went looking for a profitable business. I felt secure purchasing a very successful juice bar in a high foot traffic area as it was tangible & successful for the previous owners.
🍐 Long story short I ended up with a mountain of debt & stress, lost my equity & marriage & in my early 60s found myself broke, emotionally drained, single & living alone in rented accommodation. Driven by the retirement lifestyle I envisaged I believed there was a vehicle out there that would allow me to turn all of this around.
🍐 I engaged specialists to bring me 3 authenticated, legitimate business models. The best fit for me was this online business within an organisation that is a global market leader in the Personal Development Industry.
🍐 In just 20 hours a week, no experience, a very modest investment compared to traditional businesses & franchises & expert training & support I have grown my own fun, freeing online business. The uniquely generous compensation plan & leverage is an excellent vehicle for wealth accumulation & has been for over 15 years for New Zealanders & around the world.
