Straying livestock
Should you find livestock roaming free or in a dangerous place, contact Council on 6549 3700 for advice to help you assess the situation. Council staff may be able to contact nearby property owners to seek their assistance in identifying or collecting the straying stock.
Generally Council does not have the resources to readily collect and impound straying stock, and will usually seek in the first instance to herd straying stock to a nearby area that is out of danger to enable identification and to contact the owner of the stock for them to collect the animal(s).
If you know or suspect who the owner of the stock may be, it is recommended that you contact that person in the first instance and advise them of the situation. If the situation is still not resolved, you should then contact Council for assistance.
