Register your pet

Redlands Coast residents are required by law to register their dog or cat with Council at 12 weeks of age. Infringements may be issued after this period for any cat or dog that is unregistered.

If your pet goes astray, the shelter or vet can use your pet's microchip and registration details to contact you and quickly reunite you with your pet. Registration is cheaper if your pet is already desexed.

Select from the drop-down menu below to read about registering your pet, registration fees, changing existing registration details, and more.
