Dogs not to cause nuisance
13 Dogs not to cause nuisance
A person in charge of a dog in a State forest or timber reserve must not allow the dog to behave in a way—
that causes a nuisance to or unreasonably disturbs someone else or another animal in the forest or reserve; or
that is dangerous to a person or animal, or damages property, in the forest or reserve.
Maximum penalty—20 penalty units.
However, this section does not apply to a person in charge of a dog in a State forest or timber reserve if—
the person is conducting an activity in the forest or reserve under an authority under an Act; and
the dog is being used to help conduct the activity under the authority; and
the person takes reasonable steps to—
minimise any nuisance or disturbance being caused by the dog’s behaviour; or
prevent any danger or damage occurring from the dog’s behaviour.
