Fees to extend an Asset Protection Permit
The fee to extend an Asset Protection Permit is charged at half the current applicable permit fee and must be paid before an Asset Protection Permit extension has been granted.
The Asset Protection Permit bond will be retained until the works are complete.
Council may require an additional bond be paid as part of a request to extend an Asset Protection Permit, if the extent of damage or nature of works justifies this.

First time registrations
First time registration fees are charged pro rata, so your registration fee will be calculated based on how close to renewal you are. If you register online or in person, your fees will be calculated automatically, otherwise contact Council to find out your pro rata payment.
Unsterilised dog/cat registration (under 6 months old)

For the reduced rate to apply in future years you will need to have your dog/cat desexed and provide the desexing certificate to Council before 10 April. If no certificate is received then registration renewal will be at the full fee.
