Domestic animals

Many residents in the Redlands have pets. Dogs are the most popular, with more than 20,000 registered with Council.

Council recognises the need for clear policies and guidelines on pet ownership. At the same time, we must ensure the protection of the environment and wildlife. We also respect the lifestyle choices of residents who don't own pets.
