Livestock and Poultry
Livestock and poultry play a significant role in the community's livelihoods, sustainable food systems, and the agricultural economy in Australia. But with keeping livestock and poultry, as with all other animals comes the responsibility to keep their environments clean, tidy, and vermin free. Equally important is that they do not pose a nuisance to neighbours or the community.
Keeping Livestock
The keeping of livestock such as pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, camels or goats, must comply with the Australian Animal Welfare Standards and the Planning Development and Infrastructure Act. Depending on where you live and what animal you want to keep you may need a permit or approval.
