Public Notice

Local pet-owners will receive their annual animal registration renewal notice in the mail this week.

Under the Victorian Government’s Domestic Animals Act 1994, all dogs and cats over the age of three months must be registered by 10 April. 

To renew a pet’s registration for 2023, residents can review the notice received in the mail and pay the registration cost by any of the ways listed, including: 
•    In-person at Council’s Customer Hubs: 2 Pope Street, Bannockburn and 19 Heales Street, Smythesdale
•    By BPAY
•    Over the phone at 5220 7111
•    Or through Post Billpay

Residents wishing to break up the cost of their pet registration can sign-up to a payment plan by calling Council’s Customer Experience team: 5220 7111. Payment plans will be available by BPAY. 

Owners with microchipped and desexed pets pay the discounted rate of $49, rather than the full annual registration fee of $140 per cat and $158 per dog. Further discounts are available for certain card holders. For a detailed list of discounted options, visit: goldenplains.vic.gov.au/pet-registration

Mayor Cr Brett Cunningham encouraged residents to renew their pet registration and register their animals.  


Council’s Domestic Animal Management Plan ensures we’re committed to the promotion of responsible pet ownership and the welfare of dogs and cats in Golden Plains Shire. 


Registration of pets is compulsory under Victorian law, so Council offers a payment plan that’s open to all residents. We encourage residents to be responsible pet owners and ensure their pet is registered so they can be safely returned if they wander from home.
