Central Goldfields Shire Council is reminding pet owners animal registrations are due by 10 April, 2021.
Council will be sending out animal registrations shortly and dog and cat owners can expect the registration renewal shortly.
Central Goldfields Shire Mayor Cr Chris Meddows-Taylor encouraged all pet owners to ensure their cats and dogs are registered and microchipped.
"Besides being a legal requirement, pet registration helps us check pet ownership, making it easier and faster for our rangers to return lost pets. Registration fees also help fund important animal services within the shire," he said.
"Council has many different ways residents can pay their animal registrations and I urge all pet owners to make their animal registration is paid in full by the due date."
Pet owners can pay their registration via the following ways:
- IN PERSON: Present renewal form at Talbot, Dunolly or Bealiba Post Offices (not for new registrations)
- MAIL: Mail payments and completed new registration or renewal form to: Central Goldfields Shire Council, PO Box 194, Maryborough 3465. Please make cheques payable to "Central goldfields Shire Council". A receipt will be mailed to you upon request.
- BPAY: For Renewals only. You will be required to enter the Biller Code 192302 and your personal reference number (detailed on the bottom left hand side of your renewal notice).
