A MOVE by two councillors on Eyre Peninsula to ban roosters from towns in the area has been rejected by their colleagues.
A motion by councillors Laurette Waddell-Smith and Robert Lawrie that the council impose a by-law to ban roosters in towns in the council area was rejected at Tumby Bay's council meeting on Monday night.
The council had received a complaint from a ratepayer about noise from a neighbouring property, which housed several roosters.
Tumby Bay mayor Graeme Stirling said the council could invoke Section 254 of the Local Government Act, which gave it the power to make an order against the owner of noisy animals ...
"We have here a town where more than 50 per cent of people are aged over 65, and they don't want their sleep interrupted at 2.30 or 3 o'clock in the morning."
