Council Rangers

Council's Rangers are responsible for investigating complaints and enforcing legislation throughout the Eurobodalla Shire. Our Rangers work to provide consistent law enforcement to keep people safe and protect the environment, while ensuring community members can continue to enjoy the local area and lifestyle.

Most of the work done by Rangers is in response to requests from community members, and often involves an investigation.
