Council Says...
Animal management costs have increased over the reporting period to $65.83 per animal. The increase can be attributed to increased compliance and enforcement activities, particularly in the area of domestic animal businesses due to recent legislative changes Animal registration fees are adjusted to reflect cost recovery. Bu doing so, the general ratepayers who may not own pets are protected from the financial impact of the increased activities.
