Payment of dog registration is due by 31 July each year. Holders of Responsible Dog Owner Status pay by 30 June for their cheapest fee.
To avoid additional penalties, dog owners are encouraged to register their dogs prior to 31 July each year. An infringement notice, which carries a $300 penalty, may be issued where the dog remains unregistered, in addition to the dog's registration.
Dogs may also be seized and impounded, and you would then be liable for release fees as well as the dog registration fee.
To register a new dog or a dog that has never been registered, please contact us(external link) directly to set up your dog registration.
Each year in June we post an application for dog registration form to all registered dog owners. When you receive this, check your details and those of your dog(s) are correct.
If you have a new dog to register, you should notify Council of this so the details may be loaded ready for registration.
If the details are incorrect you can:

You can find your CCC User ID on the application for dog registration form posted to you, or you can call the Council on (03) 941 8999 to find out your number.
When paying online you will receive a disc tag, if you would like a strip tag, complete the below form.
The strip tag can be attached by bending it around the collar or through the D ring, and locking one end into the other. We recommend that you soak your strip tag in hot water to aid flexibility, before bending and locking it.
