From Monday 1 April, Aucklanders can have their say on proposed changes to the Auckland Council Policy on Dogs 2012 and Dog Management Bylaw 2012.

Auckland Council recently completed a review of its policy on dogs and related bylaw so that improvements can be made to the way dogs are managed across the region.

Public consultation is open until 10 May.

Chair of the Regulatory Committee, Councillor Linda Cooper, emphasises that no changes have yet taken effect.

“No changes have or will be made until we hear from Aucklanders about what they think of the proposal. We’ll then look at all the feedback we receive before an amended bylaw is expected to be in place later this year.

“The main aim of the proposed changes is to better communicate existing rules to the public, see more consistency across the region, as well as improving dog management in Auckland.

“Some of the changes people may not be aware of include introducing a consistent approach to multiple dog licensing, extending our ability to change access rules to protect fauna and providing incentives for menacing dogs to be rehabilitated.

“We’ve been really pleased with the number of Aucklanders who have already provided feedback and we encourage others; dog-owners and non-dog owners alike to let us know what they think before the consultation closes on 10 May.”

Have your say now:

Public consultation opened on Monday 1 April and lasts until 10 May 2019. There are several ways that you can have your say:

a: Complete the online feedback form
b: Download a hardcopy feedback form here, or pick one up at one of our libraries
c: Fill in a hardcopy feedback form at one of our libraries
d: attend one of the drop-in sessions across the region: See the following link for more information on dates/times/locations etc.

Game changing prostate treatment

Fiona from Henderson

There is an article on page 8 in this week's Western Leader regaling the latest and very exciting 'Game changing prostate treatment' - see pic attached.

There is an article on page 8 in this week's Western Leader regaling the latest and very exciting 'Game changing prostate treatment' - see pic attached.
Now, I am honestly very excited for this as it is indeed a game changer.
I wish it was there for the relatives I have lost through this horrible disease.
Where I start to get a bit annoyed is it is really incredulous how fast the medical professionals, scientists etc ... have moved to find a 'cure' for a male disease.
Yet so many women are still waiting for a cure or at the very least drugs that are funded to be made available i.e. breast cancer, cervical cancer to name just 2.
Yet, in this day & age, we will continue to wait and will possibly die 😢

‘The children are our future.’ It’s a well-loved cliché around the world because it’s absolutely true. The hopes and dreams we have for our communities are only as strong as the children and young people who continue to believe in them long after we’re gone.

‘The children are our future.’ It’s a well-loved cliché around the world because it’s absolutely true. The hopes and dreams we have for our communities are only as strong as the children and young people who continue to believe in them long after we’re gone.

This month is all about supporting our young people, to encourage and empower them to not only be the change-makers and community builders of tomorrow but also the best versions of themselves. To listen to their perspective and remember that it’s not just about what we can teach them, but what lessons they can teach us. After all, the recipe for creating healthy, happy children includes a lot of the same ingredients for building safer, more resilient and connected communities.

Want to share your thoughts?

Let us know how you’re supporting young people in your communities this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
