Tamworth Council plans to turn a pet facility into a youth diversion program to reduce crime through training and animal therapy.
Tamworth Regional Council is exploring converting the Precious Pets boarding facility in Bective into a youth diversion program for disadvantaged young people, aiming to reduce crime by offering life skills, training, and animal-assisted therapy.
The initiative, modeled on a successful program in Armidale, would co-locate with a rehomed animal center and use existing kennels and facilities, with plans for new buildings.
A $100,000 request seeks to begin design work on a project estimated at $6.5 million, potentially funded through government or external sources.
The move responds to rising youth crime and aligns with the region’s safety plan citing education, employment, and family factors as key influences.
