Mayor's response to Local Government Standards Panel findings re Cr Michael Separovich
The City may declare an individual dog as dangerous if: (a) the dog has caused injury or damage by an attack on, or chasing, a person, animal or vehicle; or (b) the dog has, repeatedly, shown a tendency — (i) to attack, or chase, a person, animal or vehicle even though no injury has been caused by that behaviour; or (ii) to threaten to attack. Owners of dogs declared as dangerous must comply with the requirements of the Dog Act 1976 or face penalties, including fines.
The Dog Act 1976 opens in a new window and the Dog Regulations 2013 provide information on dangerous dogs (restricted breeds). Under the Dog Act a dangerous dog (restricted breed) opens in a new window is defined as a breed whose import into Australia is prohibited. Please see the WA Rangers Restricted Breed Dogs information opens in a new window for a list of current restricted breeds in WA. Please note this includes pure and cross breeds.
You must follow legislative requirements for keeping a restricted breed dog opens in a new window which includes mixed breeds.
