We want to get your feedback on the rules for dogs in the South Wairarapa.

We last reviewed our Control of Dogs Policy & Bylaw in 2018. It is now due for review, and it is important to make sure these meet the needs of the wider community as well as the needs of dogs and their owners.

Our Control of Dogs Policy and Bylaw cover a range of issues including:

• where you can and can’t take dogs
• where dogs are allowed off-leash
• dog exercise areas (dog parks)
• beach, coastal and camping access rules
• nuisance and dangerous dogs

See our current Control of Dogs Policy & Bylaw.

We are now collecting feedback to inform a new draft Control of Dogs Policy and Bylaw that we will formally consult on later in 2023.

Give us your feedback by 5.00pm on Sunday 23 July 2023 by:

• filling out the online feedback form
• emailing your feedback to submissions@swdc.govt.nz
• dropping your feedback at the Council Office at 19 Kitchener Street Martinborough or any of the district libraries
• posting your feedback to: Policy and Governance Team, South Wairarapa District Council, PO Box 6, Martinborough 5741
