Local councils are the authority responsible for implementing the Companion Animals Act. Under the legislation councils have a range of responsibilities including planning, service provision, community education and enforcement. The most significant change under the Companion Animals Act is that for the first time councils have some responsibilities relating to cats.
Council enforcement powers include the power to seize animals, to issue on the spot penalties, to issue nuisance orders and to declare dogs dangerous.
