KEEPING FOWLS 

Fowls include hens, roosters and chickens.

Residents who wish to keep fowls on their property may do so within the Councils standards and guidelines.

There are minimum standards for the shelter/housing of fowls including how far away such a shelter should be from fences, trees, roads, and buildings, construction materials and requirements to maintain fowl shelters in good repair, clean and sanitary.

Fowl shelters must be at the rear of the property.

The attached information sheet outlines these details and further information regarding noise complaints, fowl waste management, and fly and vermin control.  Keeping Fowls Guideline
