flag Tamworth Council plans to turn a pet facility into a youth diversion program to reduce crime through training and animal therapy.

flag 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. flag 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. flag A $100,000 request seeks to begin design work on a project estimated at $6.5 million, potentially funded through government or external sources. flag The move responds to rising youth crime and aligns with the region’s safety plan citing education, employment, and family factors as key influences.
