Doggy do in Qtown may soon be costly
Is doggy litter "litter" by the letter of the law? A Queenstown Lakes District Council panel is to investigate whether dog owners who fail to pick up their dogs' droppings can be fined under the council's litter bylaw.
And if the panel finds doggy do is a doggy don't under the law, it will mean an instant $100 fine.
The panel met yesterday to hear submissions on the council's draft dog policy.
Wanaka woman Lyn Marshall said the council should provide doggy litter bins and educate owners to pick up after their pooches.
But panel member Cr Kathy Neal said there may already be a deterrent in place. "We have a litter law and we need to go back to the appropriate committee and see if it covers this sort of thing," she said.
The litter bylaw was put in place last year and carries an instant $100 fine for anyone caught littering. more>>
