Information | Roosters are now banned in residential zone areas of Dunedin unless owners have written permission from the DCC to keep them. This change was introduced on 1 July 2022 to address complaints about roosters crowing in residential areas. Permission to keep a rooster will be given so long as there are no concerns such as a history of valid noise complaints. Residential zone areas are spread throughout Dunedin city, you can check your property online using the 2GP Planning map (new window). The change does not affect rooster owners outside residential areas. |
