Dog Registration and Ownership

Register your dog

The Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008 requires domestic dogs to be microchipped and registered with council from the age of 12 weeks.

Dog registration renewals are issued in late September and are due on the 31st October each year.

If you have more than 2 dogs registered to your property, you will need a licence - refer to Keeping of more than prescribed number of animals(PDF, 627KB).

All dogs must wear their Gympie Regional Council registration tag at all times.

If your dog has lost their tag, you can request a replacement dog tag here.

You will receive your replacement tag in the mail.
