PET owners are reminded that animal registrations are due Wednesday, April 10.

Registering your pet greatly improves their chances of them being returned to you if they become lost. Fees also assist Council and the State Government to provide a wide range of animal management services to the community, such as responding to calls of wandering dogs or dog attacks, or nuisance issues such as barking dogs, control of dangerous breeds, monitoring pet shops and kennels, breeding businesses and operation of Council’s animal shelter.
