Mr J Evans Clerk of the Parliament Legislative Council Parliament House 2 9 NOV 2001 SYDNEY NSW 2000

Dear Mr Evans

I refer to my letter of 20 November 2001 concerning the Resolution of the House of 14 November 2001 seeking the tabling of certain information on the Companion Animal Register.

As I indicated in my letter, the Director General of the Department of Local Government had advised that it was not possible tc provide the =aterid required by the Resolution until modifications to the reports could be made. Further, that as soon as the material could be extracted from the system the documentation would be provided.

I have subsequently received the attached advice and table from the Director General of the Department of Local Government concerning the information sought by the Resolution.

Accordingly, I wish to table the documentation in accordance with the Resolution of the Legislative Council.

Yours sincerely

Col Gellatly Director General Our Reference:

Your Reference: Michelle Carnegie Contact: (02) 9793 071 0 Dr Col Gellatly Director General Premier's Department Level 39, Governor Macquarie Tower 1 Farrer Place SYDNEY NSW 2000 23 NOV 2001 Via Facsimile 02 9228 4630

Dear Dr Gellatly

Legislative Council Motion -Standing Order 18 -Companion Animals

I refer to the Legislative Council's 'Order for Papers from the Companion Animals Register' of 14 November 2001, seeking details of companion animals identified and registered on the Companion Animals Register as at 1 October 2001.

Please find a copy of the full customised report attached.

As I indicated in my interim reply, it should be noted that there is currently a 4% error rate in the address details provided by owners, therefore the registration breakdowns by Local Government Area may be inaccurate to varying degrees. Also, the figures reflect transitional arrangements which, in brief, exempt from lifetime registration cats existing before 1 July 1999. Dogs do not have to be lifetime registered (and therefore be recorded as such on the Companion Animals Register) until 1 October 2002 provided annual registration is maintained.

I certify to the best of my knowledge all documents held by the Department of Local Government and covered by the terms of the resolution have been provided.

Yours sincerely

*& *& Payne Director General
