The council remains silent on these fee hikes despite the growing number of people calling for a review. Call your local representative today and demand they explain why our dog registration costs are jumping this high. Post the petition link on your Facebook page to ensure our neighbors know what is coming.

I see in tonights papr that the Mackenzie District dog rego is 65.00 and if fixed, 40.00 so why in a smaller area, are ours so expensive. I guess someone has to pay for the renovations to the dog control offices.

Higher rates will cause more unregistered dogs.. Also with high vet rates (everywhere) there will be a lot of puppy farms to unregistered dogs resulting in cruel dumping situations.

its a huge price hike in dog rego ,more so when they put it up not even a few years ago ,its a struggle as it is ,council would find it easier to work with dog ownership than against dog ownership

What justifiable reason is there for such a huge increase. What is the difference between this year and the last years expenses. To say dog owners must cover the costs......of what?

Haven't received the bill yet but I question what the prices are for working dogs, There is no way I am paying that much for 6 dogs! Has the council let public know this was happening or was the first we heard in the bill?
