An application form to register your dog can be downloaded from this website. You may post this form with the appropriate fee or bring the completed form to the Shire Office with the required fee. Tags will be issued for affixing to the dog's collar. Once registered, renewal notices will be sent annually. You are requested to advise the Shire Office if a registered dog dies or is no longer required to be registered in this Shire. Your dog licence is still valid (until it expires) should you move to another Shire. If registering a dog as sterilised a Certificate of Sterilisation must be produced.

If an unregistered dog is impounded, the owner may incur a $500 penalty in accordance with the Dog Act 1976, plus $25 impound fee for the first day and $10 everyday thereafter and registration of the dog will be required prior to its release from the pound.
