This includes updating details if the animal changes address, ownership, goes missing or dies.”“As the owner of Sam, an 11 year old Labrador, I understand the importance and piece of mind both microchipping and registration provides a dog owner.” Fee schedule for NSW lifetime registration: • Un-desexed dog/cat $150 • Desexed dog/cat $40 • Desexed dog/cat owned by a pensioner $15 • Dog /cat owned by a recognised breeder $40 • Dog /cat owned as an Assistance Animal FREE If a pet or pet owner’s circumstances change, that information must be provided in writing to Council within: • 14 days of any change to the registration details, that is, if a pet owner moves or changes phone numbers or a dog or cat is adopted by someone else, • 28 days of the dog or cat dying • Four days of the dog or cat going missing • Seven days of the dog being declared dangerous or revoking a dangerous dog declaration. Residents can visit www.shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au to download Council’s ‘update particulars’ form on the pet ownership page – change of ownership and other details.For more information on lifetime registration, contact Council’s Ranger Services on (02) 4429 3433.

Most users of the self-help sites will be eligible for the Satellite Subsidy Scheme.  This scheme, run by the federal government, will open in January 2012, and will allow users of the self-help sites to access the Viewer Access Satellite Television (VAST) service, giving access to the full range of digital television channels.  To be eligible for the subsidy, the applicant must currently receive analog television via a terrestrial signal and be unable to receive a terrestrial digital signal (ie be reliant on the Moeyan Hill or Clover Hill site for television coverage) and: The owner, landlord or tenant of the dwelling where the satellite television equipment is to be installed An Australian citizen or permanent resident Aged 18 years or over Tenants will need to have received their landlord’s permission for the installation to occur. If eligible for the subsidy, a household co-contribution will be required.  The amount is yet to be determined, but is expected to be between $200 and $350. For more information about the Satellite Subsidy Scheme, go to www.digitalready.gov.au or ring the Digital Ready Information Line on 1800 20 10 13. scc_domain\edwardsi Mon, 28 Nov 2011 21:32:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:290 http://www.shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au/Home/tabid/587/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/285/Council-hosting-Broughton-Creek-Floodplain-workshops.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=587&ModuleID=1164&ArticleID=285 http://www.shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=285&PortalID=3&TabID=587 http://www.shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au/Home/tabid/587/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/285/Council-hosting-Broughton-Creek-Floodplain-workshops.aspx Council is hosting two community workshops as part of the Broughton Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan.Covering Berry and surrounding rural lands, the study is aiming to define the risks of flooding within the catchment and identify options to mitigate these risks.The first stage of the study, which has already been completed, undertook investigations to define flood behaviour both within and surrounding the Berry Township.Stage one of the study also involved the preparation of preliminary flood mitigation strategies for further assessment.The workshop will also provide an opportunity for the community to discuss the preliminary list of flood mitigation strategies being considered for further investigation.

The information will assist Council, National Parks and its partners in their fox control program aimed at protecting the breeding activities of endangered native species. Council will be using a new internet technology called ‘Crowd Sourcing’ for this mapping. Volunteers will need to log onto an interactive map on Council’s website and place a mark at the exact site where the fox was seen. Other details such as date seen, behaviour or condition can be added. The tool can also be used to record the location of foxes killed on the road or by trapping, shooting or baiting. Information will be sought on - • Date that the fox was last seen. • Time of day of sighting. • Number of foxes spotted. • Any general comments. Council, National Parks and their contractors will use the information to concentrate their efforts on those areas where foxes have been sighted.
