Dog Control Policy and Bylaw Thames-Coromandel District Council Proposed Dog Control Policy and Dog Control Bylaw Statement of Proposal The Thames-Coromandel District Council has reviewed its Dog Control Bylaw (Part 10 of Council's Consolidated Bylaw 2004) and Dog Control Policy and is proposing changes to both documents. This document explains the types of changes proposed and includes the proposed Dog Control Policy and Dog Control Bylaw in full. It also tells you how you can give us feedback. Why a Dog Control Policy and Dog Control Bylaw? Dog control is regulated under the Dog Control Act 1996 (the Act). The intention of the Act is to enable people to enjoy the benefits of dog ownership and provide for the exercise and recreational needs of dogs and their owners, while minimising potential danger, distress and nuisance to the community. The Act requires that Council has a policy on dogs, and gives effect to the policy through bylaws made under the Local Government Act 2002. Some matters in the Act do not need to be repeated in a policy or bylaw, such as the obligations of dog owners and actions Council must or may carry out in response to certain situations. Some matters are at the discretion of Council such as deciding what policy approach to take and the level of regulation appropriate in the district. Council has considered the proposed Dog Control Policy and Dog Control Bylaw included in this Statement of Proposal and has determined: A dog control bylaw is necessary to give effect to Council's policy on dogs and is the most appropriate way to address problems associated with dogs in the district. The proposed bylaw is the most appropriate form of bylaw for the purposes of consultation. The proposed bylaw is not inconsistent with the New Zealand Bill of Rights 1990. About the policy and bylaw review Council adopted a Dog Control Policy and made a Dog Control Bylaw in August 2004 (Part 10 Control of Dogs). A review was undertaken in 2009 and the current bylaw must be reviewed no later than September 2019. Review of the bylaw automatically triggers a review of the policy, and it is effective and efficient to undertake these review processes at the same time. A review was initiated in 2013 and feedback was collected from the community, including through an informal survey over the 2013/2014 summer period and formal submissions to a proposed policy and bylaw over July 2014. However, in early 2015 it was determined that issues identified through 1 Thames-Coromandel District Council - Statement of Proposal Dog Control Policy and Dog Control Bylaw that process meant we should stop the process and 'start again', to undertake more investigations and develop a revised policy and bylaw for further consultation. The current review has been informed by the work from 2013 and 2014, including the community feedback received. We've also had further discussions with Council's Community Boards about local area rules and with the Department of Conservation as a key stakeholder in the protection of wildlife and as the administrator of public conservation land in the district. Thousands of dogs are in the district at any given time, including dogs registered with the Council, temporarily in the district with visiting owners but registered elsewhere, or unregistered. Not all dogs cause problems but Council is required to have a system in place in order to mitigate potential problems and address problems when they do occur. Some relevant matters for our district include: Protection of wildlife, including the endangered New Zealand Dotterel and migratory birds. Popularity of district beaches for people during summer. Appropriate dog exercise areas around the district. Consideration of the needs of locals and visiting dog owners in relation to rules that are easy to understand, such as general consistency with date and time restrictions and approach for main streets and town centres across the district. The review has identified that various improvements should be made to make the policy and the bylaw more robust as well as easier to read and understand. These include: Removing unnecessary duplication with provisions in the Dog Control Act 1996, and including necessary information for legislative compliance. Numbering and ordering of provisions. Greater use of explanatory notes. More definitions. Concise provisions using plain English for improved readability. More defined area descriptions for clarification. Changes to area rules. Separating the bylaw from the Council's Consolidated Bylaw 2004 and making changes so the bylaw can sufficiently stand-alone. The nature and scope of changes proposed means Council would revoke the current Control of Dogs Bylaw (Part 10 of Council's Consolidated Bylaw 2004) and adopt an amended Dog Control Bylaw, as well as adopt an amended Dog Control Policy, following public consultation and consideration of the feedback received. 2 Thames-Coromandel District Council - Statement of Proposal Dog Control Policy and Dog Control Bylaw Have your say The consultation period for the policy and bylaw will begin on 6 November and conclude at 4pm on 7 December 2015. This is your opportunity to let Council know what you think of the proposed Dog Control Policy and Dog Control Bylaw. There are many different ways for you to tell us what you think. You can: Use our online consultation portal at: www.haveyoursay-tcdc.objective.com Send us an email at: [email protected] Fax us on (07) 868 0234 Complete a submission form and post it to us at Thames-Coromandel District Council, Private Bag, Thames 3540 or drop it into the area offices in Thames, Coromandel, Whitianga or Whangamata. If you have any questions about this proposal or about how to make a submission, please contact us on 07 868 0200 or email: [email protected] We encourage you to consider using the online consultation portal as this method minimises the administration costs of the Council and gives you the advantage of saving your draft submission for further editing before submitting. Hearings Please tell us if you would like to attend a hearing to speak to Council in support of your submission, and include a telephone number and email address to ensure we can contact you to arrange a time for your presentation. Hearings will be held in early February 2016. What happens next? After the hearings, the Council will consider all the submissions received and make decisions on any amendments to the policy and bylaw as a result. As a submitter you will be notified of Council's decision. Council will consider a final dog control policy and dog control bylaw for adoption in May 2016. Remember, you have until 4pm on 7 December 2015 to send us your feedback. 3 Thames-Coromandel District Council - Statement of Proposal Dog Control Policy and Dog Control Bylaw [Draft] Dog Control Policy Ngā kaupapa kuri 1.

  • Roamtraveladventures.Com Sat 05 Mar AUCKLAND
    a guided adventure for active women Sat 05 Mar AUCKLAND - THAMES Our adventure starts this morning, with a pickup at Auckland Airport (please arrive by 10.30am) before journeying south across the Bombay Hills and on to Miranda for a spot of bird-watching. The Firth of Thames offers migratory wading birds a massive 8,500 hectares of wide inter-tidal flats and attracts thousands of birds each year. Some fly all the way from the Arctic circle whilst others fly up from the braided rivers of the South Island. There are some easy walking tracks through the mud-flats and an interesting Information Centre where we can eat a picnic lunch whilst learning about this amazing natural occurrence. Our first two nights will be spent in the southwestern end of the Coromandel Peninsula in the town of Thames. Surrounded by impressive bush-clad ranges and the Firth of Thames, a heritage rich in gold and kauri and some interesting shops to poke around in. After dinner we will take a stroll along the foreshore and hopefully witness one of Thames’ legendary sunsets (weather permitting of course!) Sun 06 Mar THAMES Today we will explore the township with a local guide taking in the historic buildings and landscape. There will also be time to enjoy some of the shorter walking tracks near Thames. Native bush, Kauri forests, the singsong of birds, chattering crickets, gold mining history, tunnels and scenery awaits us. Later relax by the pool at our accommodation. Mon 07 Mar HAHEI – WHITIANGA We say haere ra to Thames and begin our circumnavigation of the Coromandel Peninsula.
