Registration checks
Our animal management officers carry out door-knocks across Maroondah to check the registration of dogs and cats. Officers will be in uniform and will be carrying Council identification.
Where unregistered animals are found, a Notice to Comply will be issued for registration. When owners are not home an information pack, including a Notice to Comply, will be sent.
Animal management officers also check the number of animals housed on a property. If more than 2 dogs and/or 2 cats are found, an application for a permit will be sent to the owners.
If you have not registered your animals appropriately fines may apply.
Penalties
Penalties apply to owners of:
- unregistered animals
- animals found wandering
- animals found not wearing a registration tag.
