Under the Casey Community Local Law 2023 and the Domestic Animals Act 1994, owners may receive a fine if their dog is found wandering. The dog may also be sent to the pound.
Owners must ensure their dog is secure and cannot escape their property.
Owners who live on a large property should consider fencing off a section or building a kennel. The pet owner is responsible for maintaining fences and secured areas to prevent pets from escaping.
It can be hazardous for both dogs and the community if dogs escape.
