Assistance Animal Information Session 2 - Murwillumbah

Come along to one of our three information sessions on the Draft Policy on Assistance Animal in Council Places. The Draft Policy sets out clear and fair rules that support people who use assistance animals in council places while ensuring these places stay safe, clean and welcoming for everyone. 

There will be a formal presentation at the beginning of the session followed by an opportunity to talk to one of our team about your questions or concerns.

Visit www.yoursaytweed.com.au/assistance-animals to find out more about the policy.

If you have any access or support needs to help you participate in this event, please let us know by contacting us via email: yoursay@tweed.nsw.gov.au or call 02 6670 2400.
