In accordance with the Domestic Animals Act 1994, all dogs and cats over the age of 3 months are required to be microchipped then registered with Council.
Dogs and cats will need to re-registered this year only by 9th May 2022. Please note microchipping is not the same as council registration.
If you live in our shire and have a dog or cat, it's important that it is registered.
To register your pet please complete the Animal Registration Application Form (PDF, 802KB).
Along with the completed form you will need to provide proof of the animal microchip number.
Owners of dogs are required under the Domestic Animals Act 1994, to complete a declaration upon registration of a dog, as to the ownership or non-ownership of a “Restricted Breed Dog”
Please bring your completed application and supporting documents to the Civic Centre on the corner of Lyttleton and Lloyd streets in Castlemaine. You can also submit them via email to info@mountalexander.vic.gov.au.
