Infringements and Offences
The most common reasons for issuing infringements are:
- Failing to register your dog
- Failing to keep your dog under effective control
- Failing to keep your dog on a leash when required to do so
The infringement fees are set by legislation. The full list of infringement offences and fees are set out in Schedule 1 of the Dog Control Act 1996.
