Control of dogs

26ZX: Matters relevant to determination of conditions

You could also call this:

“What the Minister thinks about when deciding rules for dogs on certain land”

When the Minister decides the conditions for dogs on certain land, you need to know they consider a few things. They think about the risk dogs might pose to protected wildlife that lives on or near the land. They also consider what the land is used for and any plans or policies that affect the land.

The Minister looks at whether the conditions will keep people safe when they are on or near the land. They think about how dogs and their owners might interact with other people using the land.

The Minister makes these decisions based on information from a notice published under section 26ZS.
