Australia has one of the highest rates of pet ownership in the world. As important members of your family, council wants to ensure they are safe, well cared for and not a problem to the community.
The law requires most cats and dogs to be microchipped and registered with the local Council. Find out more about getting your pet microchipped and registered.
If you have lost your pet or found someone else’s pet, check below for more information.
Find out more about annual permits that apply to non-desexed cats and dangerous/restricted dogs.
Dangerous and restricted breeds of dogs can be a serious problem for the community if they are not managed properly.
Stock animals such as cattle, sheep, horses and goats must be kept under control, so they do not cause damage to property or endanger life if found straying along roadsides.
