This clause also gives an authorised person the ability to impound a seized dog and make reasonable inquiries of the keeper’s identity, if not known, and give written notice to the keeper. Notice can be by phone. This clause also gives an officer the discretion for a home impoundment. For example, where a dog is seized because the dog is not registered, the dog can be impounded at home under express direction that the dog is kept on the premises and is not allowed off the premises. The keeper has 24 hours to register the dog. It is an offence not to comply with a home impoundment direction, with a maximum penalty of 50 penalty units. This is considered reasonable and proportionate to the offence.
