Animal Census Follow-up Services

Bartels, Taylor & Associates Pty Ltd (BTA P/L) can manage for Council the follow-up of unregistered animals detected on rated properties.

A number of residents will continue to house unregistered animals on their properties following the activities of an Animal Census Service. BTA P/L offers Council a service to follow-up with owners of animals identified in the Animal Census Service as being unregistered and that continue to remain unregistered following a period of time.

Our staff are skilled in negotiation and customer service and can:

return to the address of non registered animals and communicate with the owner the importance of animal registration.

provide owners with information relating to animal registration, including Council's animal registration documentation

provide information on continuing non-compliance.

In the event of a non co-operative animal owner, BTA P/L will provide Council with:

a photo image of the unregistered animal, and

a Statutory Declaration.

This documentation can later be used as evidence to support any Court procedures Council chooses to pursue.

Councils that use the Animal Census Follow-up Service benefit from:

continuity of the Animal Census process

heightened public profile as to the requirements for animal registration

heightened community awareness of Council's commitment to its local law enforcement

equality between residents who register animals and those who fail to do so

a higher overall compliance rate of animal registrations

a comprehensive data base of information about the animals, particularly dangerous animals, located within Council's boundaries
