(b) to take such steps as are appropriate to ensure that it is notified
or otherwise made aware of the existence of all dangerous, menacing and
restricted dogs (including dogs that might reasonably be considered to be the
subject of a declaration under Division 1 or 6 of Part 5) that are ordinarily
kept within its area.
(2) Subsection (1) does not limit the other functions
that may be conferred or imposed on a council by or under this Act.
Note :
Councils also have functions in relation to companion animals under other
legislation. For example, the number of dogs or cats that are able to be kept
on premises can be restricted by a council by giving an order to the occupier
in terms of order No 18 in the Table to section 124 of the Local Government
Act 1993 .
