Pet ownership

A pet can be great for kids

A pet can provide wonderful companionship, but being an animal owner brings certain responsibilities.

Wollongong City Council works to ensure pet owners act responsibly, so that humans and their animal companions can share the city’s great lifestyle.

It’s important all pet owners know their responsibilities when it comes to registration, and penalties for breaching animal regulations.

Should you wish to keep, board, train, breed or care for animals for commercial purposes you will need to lodge a development application and gain approval from Council.
