New Dog Bylaw for Lower Hutt

New Dog Bylaw for Lower Hutt
The Dog Control Bylaw 2015 has been adopted after
recommendations by the Policy and Regulatory Subcommittee
were accepted by Council.
The bylaw relaxes some prohibition rules and allows dogs that are on-leash to be in Jackson Street, Petone, on the corner of Rimu/Oroua street, Days Bay, and the shopping centre at 157 Wainuiomata Road, for a trial period of 12 months.
A pilot of a fenced dog park on Pohutukawa Street will not go ahead after the site was deemed unsuitable; instead Council will consult with the community in March on a fenced dog park at McEwan Park in Petone.
Other changes include the addition of a trial dog exercise area in Days Bay, and the clarification of 38 dog exercise areas across the city.
An interactive map identifying all new and existing dog exercise areas can be found at huttcity.govt.nz/dogs.
Council welcomes ongoing feedback from residents to ensure the changes are working and are beneficial to both dog owners and other members of the community.
Feedback on the trial areas can be sent to dogbylaw@huttcity.govt.nz
