■ Strathbogie Shire Council is calling on residents to help shape the rules that impact daily lives—from fire pits and dumped rubbish to barking dogs and roaming cats. The Council is undertaking a full review of Local Law No. 2 and the Domestic Animal Management Plan. “These two essential documents guide how we manage public spaces, neighbourhood amenity, and the welfare and control of domestic animals across the Shire,” said a Council representative. “Local Law No. 2 – Community Amenity helps everyone live together safely and respectfully. It covers a wide range of issues that affect daily life in the Shire – from managing waste and outdoor burning to how animals are kept and how public spaces are used. “The Domestic Animal Management Plan applies specifically to the care, control and regulation of dogs and cats in our community. For pet owners, this plan provides clear guidance on responsibilities like registration, desexing, and keeping pets safely contained. “It also outlines how Council promotes animal welfare while respecting the needs of pet owners as well as the wider community, especially in terms of safety and nuisance concerns. Strathbogie Mayor Cr Claire Ewart-Kennedy said this engagement isn’t just a routine checkin but a chance for the community to influence meaningful change on things that really matter.
