Dog Control

It is required by state law that all dogs at the age of three months are to be registered.

All residents who own a dog in the Council area must have the dog registered.

The following points are of further interest:

• You must be over 16 years of age to have a dog registered in your name
• Dog registrations expire on 30 June each year and must be renewed by 31 August
• Registration renewal notices are sent out to you each year
• If your current registration tag becomes lost or damaged, a replacement is available from the Council office.

Expiation fees apply for failing to have your dog registered or for various dog attacks or related incidents.

For more information please contact Council's General Inspector.
