Yep GB, the rule of thumb seems to be 40 acres. From the Weapons Licensing website talking about Recreational licences:
For Recreational shooting on rural lands (with Cat A or B only), the size of the property you wish to shoot on needs to be of sufficient size to ensure safe use for the category/ies of weapons (generally greater than 40 acres). It is an offence to shoot on or across neighbouring private land without the owner’s permission.


The size of the property is not a legally stipulated standard, there have been incidents of people discharging firearms on 5 acre blocks in my area, even after people have complained, the local police have not been able to act, providing the shooter is licensed and the firearm is registered, it is dependant on the circumstances, if the shooter can show the projectile is not being fired over neighbouring land, then there is no offence.

i'm hearing you perentie,the best way too solve the problem is get a good loud squeaky toy from the $2 shop,buy a nice BBQ chook or cook some bacon,also tinned tuna works well,set up a lil feeding area for them,have your 22 ready with subs or z's give the squeaky toy a few squeaks next time there out,near your nice lil food trap,then put too sleep with a nice pill in the head use hollow points too,that should fix the problem,good luck.

Trying to get a roaming domestic dog(s) into a cage trap is very, very difficult. The dogs are not particularly looking for food, just something to play and chase and possibly they are extending their territory and will challenge anything and everyone in it.
For a start, you will need 2 very large cage traps and pegged down.
I don't see "smelly" baits working 'cause the dogs are usually well fed.
I'd suggest you try some fresh KFC chicken. Use the skin and carcass, wings on,bones etc and shallow bury it at the rear of one trap. In trap No.2 try dry food or dog meat - mince etc. I set the mince or pellets in a dog dish and place in a foam meat tray with a bit of water if ants are a problem.
Also, use some of your dog's scats around and into the trap entrance or a stray bitch scat or cats scat too.
The baits will have to be kept fresh.
Try a few dog pellet food at and into the entrance of the traps. You could also rig up one trap not to fire when the dog enters, gets them used to going in.
And last, patience, patience and good luck.... ;)

Thanks for all the hints.
The dog has not come back since, so perhaps someone else has solved the problem
