Your first step should be to approach the owner of the dog and explain the situation, they may not even be aware that the dog is barking. If this fails, you have an option to make a complaint to your local ranger via the City Assist service on 9439 0400 or by emailing cityassist@kwinana.wa.gov.au. Honeywood is a new estate and many families may be adding a puppy or a dog to their household, so please be understanding of the animal’s need to adjust to new environments.
For more details please see:

Doggie bags will be provided by the council in authorised dog exercise areas only. Hopefully one will be introduced into the estate shortly – if you want to help hurry it along, don’t forget to sign the petition! In the meantime, it has been noticed that some residents are not cleaning up after their dog’s excrement and this can make our beautiful parks quite unpleasant. Regardless of whether dog poo bags are provided for you or not, it is still your responsibly to clean up after your dog. You can be fined for not picking up your dog’s mess!
If you are concerned about aggressive magpies in your area, contact the department Wildcare Helpline on 9474 9055. The following document provides important information about swooping magpies and how to reduce the risk of being attacked during magpie season.

If you find a snake do not approach or aggravate it in any way. Most bites occur when people accidentally step on snakes, or while attempting to kill them. As the warmer days of spring approach, snakes become more active as they leave their winter retreats in search of a mate and food. If you find a snake in a garden or a house, contact Wildcare Helpline 9474 9055 to be referred to a volunteer reptile remover. If volunteers are unavailable, there are commercial snake removal services. Advice can be provided by phoning the Department of Parks and Wildlife on 9219 9840.
