  • protect Council assets;
  • regulate the droving, grazing and movement of livestock throughout the municipal district, minimising the damage to road surfaces, formations, drainage, native vegetation and surrounding areas arising from livestock and to alert other road users to the presence of livestock on roads in the interests of road safety; and
