Wellington Shire Council

The worst council I have ever encountered. I have a street light that shines directly into my bedrooms, so they installed a brighter one, and now want me to pay to have it fixed to meet Australian Standards. They don't give a crap the everyday Aussie. Zero care from them. More results banging my head against a wall

All they want is taking your money from you. Set money trap by setting up bus lane only sign on the ground half way through the road, when you realize it's a bus lane only, it's too late. They think they are entitled and arrogant doing this by diminishing your remark. When a council acts like a hungry dog, you know you have no right to dispute this with them.

Well we have a greedy council that doesn't help the unemployed with a health care card no discounts apply shame on you guys

Poorly maintained rest areas outside of Sale towards Bairnsdale. Bins all overflowing all over the place. Toilets are shockingly DISGUSTING. Not flushing NOT CLEANED for months they appear to be. A burnt caravan was not cleaned up thoroughly. It appears this rest area has not even been visited by a staff member to do their job. We could not eat our breakfast there with this scenery and moving on to a nicer cleaner place to eat. Check in on your staff’s work!

ALERT FOR FAMILIES WITH KIDS - DANGEROUS DOGS: Woodside Beach (Wellington Shire Council is responsible for the beach area) a small community next to the Gippsland Lakes Coastal Park. It has a single caravan park used by families. The park has been used as hunting grounds for Ducks, Stubble Quails and Hog Visitor Deers. Because of that and personal reasons, most community members have guns and major breed dogs. Among other things, one of the major problems of the Woodside Beach is the major breed dogs that terrorize visitor and sometimes locals. For example, I was close to be bitten, twice, by the dogs that live at 5 Rebecca St (major brown dog of unknown breed) and 7 Rebecca St (major black dog of unknown breed). The owners of the dogs often take them to the beach and walk them off-leash (I believe the Council authorize dogs off-leash). However, under the Domestic Animal Act VIC, the dog owners needs to have full control f the dogs even off-leash. The owners of the dogs have ZERO control of the dogs and during two occasions during my walks on the beach, the dogs charged me & came very close to my legs showing their teeth and barking loudly. It was extremely scary and if you inform the Woodside Council, they do nothing. If you pass in front of the houses on 5 and 7 Rebecca St, the dogs will bark at you non-stop. Barking is manageable but the problem is the fact that fences at the back of the houses (i.e. empty area that connects to Rebecca St) have the height of your knees (i.e. that is a breach of the Domestic Animal Act VIC) and the dogs can go around and bite you, in particular at night when the St is very dark. In addition to the dogs at Rebecca St, there is a Doberman style at 23 Richard Rd, corner Charlotte St. The fences around the house are very low height and the dog always come to the fences barking loudly when you pass by walking. This is scarier. Imagine if you are with your kids at the next door Caravan Park and the dogs charge and bite your kids?
