Subject: Legal rights of AMO's

Dear Shaun,

We write under LGOIMA in relation to the FNDC press release of 18 September, 2018, entitled “Council Launches Dog Registration Checks”.

Would you please provide information on Council’s understanding of the legal right for Animal Management Officers to enter properties in a manner as outlined in that press release.

We understand Animal Management Officers (AMOs) do not in fact have a legal right to "visit homes on randomly-selected streets ... to update records and check that dog registrations are current", or to provide unsolicited advice.

We look forward to your clarification of this.
