All dogs must be registered from the time they are 3 months old.
Registering your dog is a simple way for the council to identify your dog as yours. Not only is it part of being a responsible dog owner, but it is also a legal requirement.
By registering your dog, you help to fund a range of activities that help to keep your dog, yourself and the community happy and safe.
Annual registrations
The registration year is from 1 July to 30 June. Your dog must be registered on an annual basis. Registrations expire on 30 June of each year, and all dog owners have one month after that to re-register their dog (31 July) before a penalty is incurred. Any dog owners who have moved, or whose dogs have died or left the district are also reminded to contact Council so your records can be updated.
Dog registrations can be done online via a form.
