What Should I Do About Unattended Livestock In Public Places?

Unattended livestock pose a significant safety risk, especially if the stock are wandering on or near a public road.

Council may impound an animal to the SRLX that is in a public place throughout the Shire, if Council believes on reasonable grounds that the animal is unattended. If the animal is in a public place for a lawful reason, Council will not impound the animal.

Fees and charges are payable by livestock owners if their animals are impounded.
