Animal Control

Animal Control has the function of administering the Dog Control Act 1996 and Chapter Six (Dog Control) of the Marlborough District Council Bylaws.

This primarily involves dealing with complaints about dog nuisances and attacks and ensuring that all dogs are correctly registered. There is also a strong education focus. Currently Marlborough has approximately 10,000 registered dogs, the majority of which are non-working dogs.

Background information regarding dog control policy and practices in Marlborough can be obtained from the Section 10A Report.
