In 2010 Council adopted the Wildlife Protection Area Policy to provide the framework for the Council to declare public lands, or part thereof, as a WPA.
The Wildlife Protection Area Policy has the following objectives:
1) To provide a transparent, community-supported process to enable the Council to declare a public place, or part thereof, as a Wildlife Protection Area;
2) To protect native wildlife in Council managed reserves;
3) To reduce the area of land subject to impacts associated with companion animals; and
4) To further communicate the responsibility of companion animal ownership.
