Please remember whilst walking your dog in public, they must remain on a lead at all times and to pick up any droppings that your dog is responsible for.
Dog owners are advised to become familiar with 'off leash exercise area' boundaries and 'prohibited areas'.
Registration
All dogs aged 6 months and over must be registered with Council, as a requirement of the Dog Control Act 2000.
By registering your dog, Council is able to reunite you and your pet if it is impounded or to notify you in case of an accident.
You must bring a copy of your pet's microchip and desex certification for registration.
Registration fees enable the Council to deliver a wide range of animal management services including the pound, dog patrols and community information about responsible pet ownership.
