Some council services will be unavailable over the Christmas and New Year break.
Check if you need to apply or order before Friday 19 December 2025.
Phone us on 09 301 0101 to report:
We are not required to collect or impound any stock that is trespassing on private property.
If we cannot collect the livestock, you need to either:
It is still a good idea to report trespassing livestock to us, as we may be able to locate the owner, who can arrange for the animals to be picked up.
It is an offence to wilfully cause any stock to stray or wander onto any road. You must not release the stock if we are unable to collect it.
