Ipswich City Council

Animals

DogsCouncil acknowledges the many social, health and economic benefits of animal ownership in Ipswich.  While animals provide a wealth of benefits to their owners, it is important for the health and well-being of our community, as well as the ongoing protection of our environment, that Council works with residents to ensure animals are appropriately cared for and managed.

Council has a range of programs, initiatives and information which are all designed to assist residents in their ownership of animals, including outdoor activities with dogs, applications for permits, tips for purchasing the right pet for your home, and the steps to locating lost animals.

With your help and commitment to these initiatives, Council can continue to provide a healthy, socially-just environment for both the well-being of residents in our City and that of our animals.
