Council, then to the LGFA in full. But the 2016/2017 annual accounts. Dog issues grow

As Waipa’s population grows so too does the number of dogs and dog-related complaints. For the year ending June 2016 a further 253 dogs were registered in the district, bringing Waipa’s official canine population to 7738. Dog complaints needing action by Waipa District Council’s animal control team rose slightly, with a 118 more complaints made compared to the previous 12 months. Nearly half (1108) of the complaints were about wandering dogs. When a dog is picked up for the first time, it is returned to the owner with a warning and is not automatic- ally impounded. There were 476 complaints about barking, with most complaints re- solved quickly once owners were aware of the issue. There were more aggression complaints about dogs last year (55 compared to 32) but fewer reported bites or attacks (84 compared to 81 the previous year). Council staff received 25 complaints about dogs worrying animals, up from eight. In all, 59 infringement notices were issued to dog owners last year, a decrease from 80 from the previous year. The small number of infringement notices reflects Waipa’s high dog registration rate and a re- registration rate of 98 per cent. Only 92 dogs were recorded as unregistered. The number of dangerous dogs in the Waipa district remains at eight. Dangerous dogs by law must be neutered, kept fenced and on a leash, and muzzled in public. But there are now more menacing dogs registered in Waipa — up from 62 to 77. Waipa District Council’s policy is that all menacing dogs must be neutered. Menacing dogs are classified based on their breed or type, not necessarily their behaviour. Most menacing dogs in Waipa have never offended. Last year, 460 dogs were impounded in either the Kihikihi or Cambridge pound. Of those, 330 were claimed by owners who must pay an impounding fee, register their dog (if unregistered) and pay any micro-chip fees. Council put down 56 dogs last year and rehomed 52. Many dogs were cared for by council staff until new homes were found. Dog issues and statistics were detailed in a report to Waipa District Council today.

The latest addition to the Te Awamutu Volunteer Fire Bri- gade fleet is nearing com- pletion, thanks to support from the community. A new 2016 Holden Colorado utility, supplied by local dealer Rosetown Holden, replaces a vehicle which was originally gifted to the brigade by Fonterra, and has been used for the past 10 years. Once complete the new vehicle will be a key part of the brigade’s response to an ever increasing and varied role in the community. Chief Fire Officer Ian Camp- bell says the brigade has already responded to over 245 calls this year, an increasing proportion of which are rescues, medical calls and other non-fire incidents. “This is expected to con- tinue as the new Fire and Emergency New Zealand replaces the current Fire Ser- vice. “That is where the new vehicle will fit in — there are some calls that don’t require a large, fully equipped fire appliance,” says Mr Campbell. “We can respond in a quicker, more efficient manner TC060916CA01 in this vehicle and keep other TE AWAMUTU Fire Brigade’s new response vehicle is welcomed by (from left) Deputy Chief Fire Officer Karl Tutty, Adam Fletcher (Waipa resources available.” Networks), Craig Sanders (Grassroots Trust), auto electrician and brigade member Deane Mark, Chief Fire Officer Ian Campbell.
