All cats and dogs from 12 weeks (3 months) of age need to be registered and permanently implanted with a microchip. Once registered, the council issued registration tag should be attached to the animal's collar and remain on your dog or cat at all times.
Each April you will receive a renewal notice for your pet's registration. If you would like to receive your renewal notice via email, please ensure council has your correct email address. Fees can be paid at council's customer service centers located at:
Stawell Town Hall
59-69 Main Street
Stawell, VIC 3380
St Arnaud Municipal Offices
40 Napier Street
St Arnaud, VIC, 3478
A reduced fee applies to animals that are desexed and microchipped, VCA or FCC registered, or over 10 years old and carrying an identifying microchip.
The 'onus of proof' of any of the above is on the applicant. Documentation, for example, written proof of desexing, should be forwarded to support the application.
If you wish to register your animal with Northern Grampians Shire Council, please complete the New Registration Form below.
Please note: This form is for new animal registrations only. If you wish to pay your animal registration fee, please call 03 5358 9096 for assistance.
If the animal is deceased or its details have changed from the description on the registration notice, please notify council and forward the appropriate supporting documents.
