Register your pet in June to save

All cat and dog owners who want take advantage of a discount on their pet registration fees will need to register their pet by June 30.

These fees are put towards the cost of running council’s Animal Management Centre, which provides care for lost pets until they can be reunited with their owners or adopted.

Council’s Local Laws Officers will be conducting spot checks of properties to ensure pets are registered.

If your pet is found to be unregistered, you could face significant penalties.

The discounted pet registration fees are as follows:

• Cat registration discount fee (entire cat) - if paid by June 30 - $32 (normally $55)
• Cat registration discount fee (desexed cat) - if paid by June 30 - $14 (normally $23)
• Dog registration discount fee (entire dog) - if paid by June 30 - $100 (normally $140)
• Dog registration discount fee (entire dog) for pensioners - if paid by June 30 - $46 (normally $90)
• Dog registration discount fee (desexed dog) - if paid by June 30 - $43 (normally $65)
• Dog registration discount fee (desexed dog) for pensioners - if paid by June 30 - $22 (normally $39)
