QUESTION 1
In light of the current need for people to foster dogs and the potential increase in need, due to the imminent closure of the Noosa RSPCA, would Council consider allowing residents to have up to three dogs on their property provided they have evidence from RSPCA Qld that one or more of those dogs is in temporary foster care?
