Overdue animal registration notices due by next week
Gladstone Regional Council advises that animal owners have until Wednesday 23 December to pay overdue Animal Registration notices.
Overdue notices have an issue date of 25 November 2020, after original notices were issued on 25 September 2020.
All unpaid registrations will be captured in Council’s 2021 Animal Inspection Program.
Dog and cat owners who have received animal registration renewal notices are being reminded of the rules around the registration process.
It is a Queensland Government requirement that dogs and cats, aged 12 weeks and over, must be registered and microchipped and the microchip details provided and updated with your Local Council.
Gladstone Regional Council will no longer accept registration unless the animal is microchipped (if born after April 2009) unless written evidence is provided from a veterinarian stating that microchipping would place the animal’s health at risk or is a Council-approved working dog.
Registration tags will not be issued this year for renewal registration but can be reissued if lost or damaged, with the first replacement tag free of charge.
Council offers several payment options for animal registration renewal including online via Council’s Online Services portal, telephone, mail, in person at Council offices or at Australia Post.
For more information on pets and animals, animal registration and microchipping, please visit www.gladstone.qld.gov.au/pets-animals or phone Council on (07) 4970 0700.
