It is a new bylaw governing the keeping of animals in the city and is much simpler than previous bylaws. It has removed the need for licences or permits and sets down general conditions. They must have access to sufficient food, water and appropriate, adequate exercise. Pigs can only be kept on land zoned rural or Living Hills B. Rabbits, ferrets, stoats and weasels can be kept if they are restrained or confined to prevent their escape.
Similar requirements apply to stock, including horses, cattle and sheep.
Killing stock on land zoned Living is not permitted without written approval from the Council.
