Far North Mayor John Carter is urging dog lovers and conservationists to study a proposed new dog control bylaw before making submissions.
A new round of public consultation on the controversial bylaw is due to start at the end of this month after councillors agreed unanimously last week to seek public feedback on the Dog Management Policy and Bylaw 2018.
The bylaw is a reworked version of the 2016 proposal which was eventually abandoned after running into staunch opposition from dog owners.
While the new proposal waters down aspects of the 2016 proposal it expands the number of urban areas subject to a two-dog per household limit from the current 12 to 44.
Carter said the council decided to refine the bylaw through a series of workshops with community representatives, staff and elected members after sections of the community objected.
