Animals and Pets

Animal Registration

Any cat or dog residing in Wellington Shire must be microchipped and registered from 3 months of age.

Dogs that bark excessively can become a source of irritation for neighbours and others using the local environment.

A 24-hour cat curfew is now in place throughout Wellington Shire.

Due to the predominately rural nature of our municipality, Wellington Shire Council nominates dog on lead areas, rather than dog off lead areas.
