Kennel Licencing
Number of Dogs
Under the Dog Control Act 2000 you are required to apply for a Kennel Licence if you intend to keep:
- More than two dogs over the age of six months; or
- More than four working dogs over the age of six months
You can apply for a Kennel Licence by:
1) Reading the Kennel Licence Fact Sheet for an overview.
2) Submitting a Notice of Intention to apply for a Kennel Licence to a recognised local daily newspaper (The Advocate) and paying the advertisement fee.
3) Completing an Application for Kennel Licence and submitting it to Council with the prescribed application fee.
4) Council will then arrange for an authorised officer to undertake an inspection of the property.
5) Once approved, the Kennel licence must be renewed annually - a renewal application form and invoice will be sent to you for completion and return. If you wish to cancel your kennel licence you must notify Council in writing.
