With the curtain about to close on Stage 1 of the Roxy redevelopment project, Council is excited to share the jam-packed ‘Community First’ program.
It is mandatory under the Companion Animals Act 1998, Regulation No. 87 that pet owners ensure their cats and dogs are microchipped for identification and registered with their local Council. Failing to microchip or register a pet can result in a penalty.
Animal owners are fully responsible to ensure pets are healthy, safe and do not create a nuisance in their neighbourhood.
Ensure your cat or dog has been microchipped by 12 weeks of age, or before being sold or given away, whichever happens first.
Leeton Shire Council carries out subsidised microchipping all year round.
Bring your completed forms and pay by cash, cheque, EFTPOS or credit card at our Council office, 23-25 Chelmsford Place, Leeton, between 9am and 4pm Monday to Friday.
The registration fee is a once-only payment, which covers your pet for its lifetime in NSW, regardless of any changes in ownership.
Registration fees are in accordance with clause 18 of the Companion Animals Regulation 2018.
A schedule of current fees is located on the Microchipping and Registration page of the Office of Local Government website, under Key Information.
Pet owners can update details via their NSW Pet Registry online profile.
Alternatively, please download and complete the Change of Owner/Details form and deliver it Council's Customer Service Centre at 23-25 Chelmsford Place, Leeton.
