Orange Council has decided to allow agistment on the Clifton Grove bridle paths, however they have decided that landowners should pay for the damage to fencing that these animals will cause. Livestock damage fencing and even though the council will turn a profit from this arrangement they have refused to contribute to the maintenance of this fencing. We believe that this arrangement is unfair to those sharing borders with the bridle paths and that the council should contribute to the cost of maintaining fencing. Why should residents be out of pocket for council's business arrangements?
According to the original covenants we as residents were supposed to have access to the bridle paths for our own stock and council even provided gate access for this purpose. Surprisingly, copies of this covenant document is no longer available on the council website. One of the conditions of use was that no large animals were allowed as they could cause damage to fences!!!

My fences have been damaged by council agistees sheep residing in the adjoining bridle path that also ate the remaining pasture on our property saved for my own horses during the drought resulting in us needing to buy in feed, which was considerably expensive and hard to get.
Unacceptable that council will not contribute to fixing the fences!

Our fences have been ruined by cattle and sheep that have been in the Briddle Track and we contacted council a number of times, fences were never repaired properly by contractor and so stock just kept coming in, apart from the damaged fences they would come up and ruin my gardens we had to pay to have a fence to protect our house block and gardens, because of someone else stock. We have never had stock and our fence is ruined from bridle track stock

Damages from stock on council lands which council is gaining a fee from should be council's responsibility.
