City of Coffs Harbour can issue an Infringement Notice to dog owners where it is found their dog is not kept under effective control while in a public place.
See the areas where dogs are allowed to be off their leashes, while still under the supervision of their owners.
What you need to tell us:
Do you know where the dog/s are coming from?
What type of dog/s are they (description, size, colour etc)?
Can you take an image of the dog on your phone? This is especially helpful if you are reporting by email and can attach the image of the dog to the email.
Can you contain the dog/s? Our impound facility is open until 4pm each day. Response time for collecting contained dogs may be up to 4 hours. If a dog is unable to be collected until the next day, it is preferable that you hold the dog until then if possible.
Email all of the above information to: coffs.council@chcc.nsw.gov.au with 'Report Wandering or Barking Dogs' in subject line
Once we know as many of these details as possible, Rangers will patrol the area.
There is no guarantee that the dogs will be about when the Rangers are patrolling.
It is best if you can identify where the dogs are coming from and notify us.
