Informal local board workshop views on the draft findings of the Animal Management Bylaw 2015 review

 

Resolution number PPK/2019/181

MOVED by Member G Hawkins, seconded by Chairperson B Catchpole:  

That the Papakura Local Board:

a)      receive this report on informal workshop summary views from local boards on the draft findings of the Animal Management Bylaw 2015 review.

b)      provide the following views on the draft findings of the Animal Management Bylaw 2015 review:

i)        The board would like to see goats, rabbits and geese included as pests when they don’t belong to anyone.

ii)       Change the wording breeding parrots in table 1 to read the release of breed parrots is the cause of the nuisance.

iii)      Peacocks in urban areas are also a nuisance.

iv)      Rabbits going on to neighbours’ properties cause a nuisance.  Some type of control is needed to deal for this.

v)       Roosters should not be kept in urban areas.

vi)      Table 1 – stock – the problem is the maintenance of the fences should be the responsibility of the owner to mitigate the issue of stock wandering.

vii)     Table 3 - The definition of pest should be defined.

viii)    Table 5 - What is the definition of an unowned cat?

ix)      Cats being microchipped would assist with identifying ownership.

x)       It’s general farming practice to tag stock animals anyway.

xi)      A friendly animal whether microchipped or not will always tug at the heart strings and get fed.  To suggest that identifying animals will prevent people from feeding unowned animals doesn’t make sense.

xii)     Table 6 – there are degrees of tolerance in neighbour disputes.  Sometimes the relationship has deteriorated as a result of something unrelated to animal ownership.

xiii)    Table 7 – the board doesn’t see bees as a nuisance in an urban setting other than if the bees swarm.

xiv)    Table 8 - Compulsory de-sexing of cats would create an issue for people who show their cats.  However in general the board supports the de-sexing of domestic cats.

xv)     A cat curfew or restriction on wandering would be very difficult for cat owners to adhere to and enforcement would be impractical.

xvi)    The board agrees with restrictions on feeding wild animals on public land but again questions how this would be enforced.

xvii)   The board supports giving powers to enforcement officers to issue infringement notices under this bylaw.

xviii)  The bylaw should have similar enforcement requirements to that for dogs for other animals, i.e.  dogs are reported as wandering and are impounded.

xix)    Some beaches are better suited to allowing horses than others.  A total ban of horses from beaches limits tourism opportunities.

xx)     The board agree with the urban boundary rule around stock.

xxi)    The bylaw will need to have some sort of reverse sensitivity clause as intensive developments encroach into rural areas.
