Kia ora Mary

The Minister of Local Government has passed your message on to the Department as we are responsible for the Dog Control Act 1996 (the Act). The Department cannot provide legal advice regarding the interpretation of the Act. We could however have a conversation with you to better understand the situation and point you in the right direction for assistance. If this is acceptable to you can you provide me with a phone number that you can be reached on?

Kind regards
Andrew
