Horses and livestock

If keeping livestock on your property, you must comply with the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1960 and the City's Consolidated Local Laws 2005.

If you see stray livestock on roads, verges or reserves, please contact us.

When riding your horse on any bridle trail or reserve please be courteous to other people and maintain control of the horse at all times.

Horses must not be ridden on any sports grounds, parks or nature reserves, unless specific approval has been granted by the City. View the horse exercise information sheet on where you can and can't ride horses.

Always clean up any droppings left by your horse in public. Failure to do so may result in a penalty.
