We the undersigned do not agree to the unfair fee schedule charged by the Fraser Coast Council in 2013.
We would like the Fraser Coast Council to consider alternatives:
(a)Price reduction from the current $51 registration fee to drop between $0 and $12 for each desexed and microchipped dog or cat, AND/OR
...
(b)Paying a family fee for registration for life at $12 (includes two dogs and two cats, all desexed and microchipped), AND/OR
(c)Registration periods being made available with variable costs, discounted to less than pro-rata $51pa: at 12 months, 3 years or lifetime of the pet, AND/OR
(d) Lifetime registration should be given as an option to all who's pets are both microchipped and desexed with a $2 admin charge per new tag and $9 replacement tag charge, AND/OR
(e) Adopting best practice of a Taylored Schedule of fee's also based on the OWNER's financial status in addition to responsible ownership (desexed and microchipped animal):
â– variations based on pets age
â– whether the pet is microchipped and or desexed.
â– Pet's who have enclosures and are not left to roam the streets ( with proof provided to council )
â– The schedule of fee's should not be a one size for everyone and everything, but offer alternatives and reward responsible pet ownership.
As a final request please do not fine people $220 within the following categories
1. owners of desexed,registered and microchipped cats that are not wearing a collar due to pet safety reasons
2. owners of more than 2 unregistered older animals (8+ years) that are desexed
Thank you for signing!
