Council has a requirement to manage livestock on roads, reserves and in other public areas controlled by us.
To facilitate this, we adhere to Local Law No. 4 (Control of Livestock) and the Impounding of Livestock Act.

In most cases trespassing livestock between two property owners will need to be resolved privately between both parties.
