Can I keep animals (other than cats or dogs) on my property?

This depends on the type of animal.
In general terms, all animals can be kept providing they do not cause a nuisance.

There are specific rules in the City Plan that relate to:

1. Boarding of animals (Living zones);
2. Boarding of domestic animals (rural zones);
3. Intensive livestock management (rural zones);
4. Grazing of stock (rural zones);
5. Livestock facilities (Open Space 3C zone).

For any queries relating to these rules you will need to contact the Duty Planner. All nuisance complaints need to be directed to the Environmental Effects team.
