Cats must be in carriers and dogs must be on leads.

The success of the Animal Care Truck has been remarkable since its introduction early last year.
The team has delivered essential veterinary care across New South Wales and reached 26 communities in 2023.
The mobile unit is an Australian-first, fully-fitted out B-double trailer which has been purposefully designed to enable AWL NSW to travel to regional areas in NSW to provide free services to communities doing it tough.
Animal Welfare League NSW chief executive officer Stephen Albin said last year staff worked tirelessly in sometimes challenging conditions.
“They have truly performed a commendable community service and the widespread turn-out across the state underscores the undeniable demand for this essential service,” Mr Albin said.
“We are fortunate to have a truck which truly is unique and capable of rolling into town and helping pet owners.”
