Animals
Environmental Health Officers are often called to investigate offensive odours on domestic premises when dog faeces are not being properly disposed of. In addition to the smell causing offence to neighbours, animal faeces left in gardens may provide a food source for pests and is considered insanitary if not properly managed.
Any person allowing such an offensive condition may be issued with an expiation notice (fine). Dog faeces should be picked up and properly disposed of in a sanitary manner at a minimum of once a week. If you have a large dog or numerous dogs on the property, you will need to do this more frequently.
It is recommended that the faeces are disposed of in a garbage bag, tied up, and disposed of in your weekly rubbish bin.
