ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                           19 SEPTEMBER 2024


                    Response provided by Richard MacGillivray, Director Planning & Regulation
                    The registration of domestic dogs is a requirement under Queensland law (the
                    Animal Management Cats and Dogs Act 2008 (the Act)). I acknowledge that
                    Council’s in other States do have lifelong dog registrations however dog
                    registration under the Act in Queensland does not allow for lifetime
                    registration. It’s important to highlight that registering your dog helps the council
                    provide essential animal management services. These services include managing
                    aggressive and barking dogs, responding to and investigating dog attacks,
                    providing pound facilities, reuniting lost dogs with their owners, and maintaining
                    off-leash areas, litter bins, and doggie bags where needed.
