THE Sunshine Coast Council is launching its annual inspection program.
The program relates to dogs that are “regulated’’ under state legislation.
The annual audit of properties where a regulated dog is kept, ensures animal owners are doing the right thing by their community to reduce potential risks.
Officers will audit premises where regulated dogs are being kept, with the program starting November 14. These relate to containment, tags, signage, registration, collars and microchips.
Councillor Winston Johnston said the compliance audits ensured council was doing what it could to keep the community safe. “There are risks associated with regulated dogs, but we want the community to have peace in knowing we’re working to ensure these dogs are being properly contained and looked after,” he said.
