Register an Animal
Did you know?
- All dogs and cats three months of age and older are required to be registered with Council.
- A reduced registration fee may apply if your cat or dog meets the requirements set by the State Government, and eligible pensioners are also entitled to a reduced registration fee.
- Owners of dogs and cats currently registered with Council are required to renew their registration by April 10 each year.
- Registration and microchipping are NOT the same. Cats and dog being registered for the first time with Council must be implanted with a microchip.
- All dogs and cats registered with Council are issued with a lifetime tag with a unique number and must be worn on the animal at all times when outside your property.
- Dogs and cats that are registered with Council and wearing their registration tag can be quickly reunited with their owner should they become lost.
- Failure to apply or renew the registration of your dog or cat may result in an infringement notice being issued per animal.
