Council is encouraging residents to take advantage of the discount period by registering their pets before June 30.
Registration renewal letters have been issued and should be in the mail for residents who have not opted to receive them electronically by email through eNotices.
Mayor Greg Williamson said this month was the perfect opportunity for residents to get in early and ensure their pet’s registration was up to date.
“A reduction in fees as much as 30 to 50 per cent can be claimed by residents who register their cats and dogs during the discount period,” Mayor Williamson said.
“Registering your pet ensures that if your pet goes missing, we have your most up-to-date contact details so we can return your pet to you as soon as possible,” he said.
“Pet registration fees are also put towards the costs of running council’s Animal Management Centre, which provides care for lost pets until they can be reunited with their owners or adopted.”
To support the discount period and pet registration, council is again running the popular photo competition for residents with registered animals.
“We are encouraging pet owners to share photos of themselves and their pets practising responsible pet ownership,” Mayor Williamson said.
“This could be anything from taking your dog for a walk on a leash, playing in an off-leash dog park or a photo of your pet sporting a collar with a council pet registration tag.
“We will choose one winner each week and they will take home a $100 voucher from a local pet store.”
Photos of you and your pet practising responsible pet ownership can be shared at mackay.qld.gov.au/pet.
If there has been a change to your address or your pet’s status in the last year, update your details with council online at www.mackay.qld.gov.au/onlineserivces, calling 1300 MACKAY (622 529) or by emailing council@mackay.qld.gov.au.
