Are you a responsible pet owner? Did you know that pets in Coomera Waters must comply with both CW by-laws and Gold Coast City Council local laws?  Here's a list of all the rules ...

DOG rules according to the Gold Coast City Council's Local Law No. 12 (Keeping and Control of Animals) requires all dogs to;

• be kept on a leash at all times when in public areas on the Gold Coast ($150 fine)
• be kept under effective control ($150 fine) even when in an off-leash area
• have their droppings picked up after them ($75 fine)
• be microchipped and registered.

Our CW by-laws also state that dogs;

• must be kept on a leash at all times on our estate (apart from when they are on their owner's property) even if they are well-behaved. This important rule helps ensure the safety and wellbeing of other residents, other dogs and wildlife.
• droppings must be promptly picked up and disposed of in an appropriate way
• must be kept clean, quiet and under control at all times (even when at home) which includes controlling barking, digging and disruptive behaviour
• must wear an identifying tag and/or be microchipped

CAT rules from Gold Coast City Council require all cats to;

• be kept on their owner's property AT ALL TIMES - you can be issued with a $75 fine if your cat is found outside your property and the animal may be impounded
• wear an identification collar
• be microchipped
• be desexed at an early age
• cat registration is no longer required by Council.

Our CW by-laws require that cats;

• be kept on their owner's property AT ALL TIMES (unless in a vehicle or on a leash)
• be kept indoors overnight from 6pm till 6am
• wear an identifying tag or be microchipped
• be clean, quiet and under control
• wear a bell on their collar to help protect local wildlife.

Animal registration forms are available from the Council website http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/community/dogs-cats-3456.html  

Complaints about animals/owners breaking the Council rules can be lodged via http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/complaints-6221.html
