Registration is carried out at the Shire offices during normal office hours and is available for 1 year, 3 years and lifetime periods, commencing on 1 November each year.

All dogs must be contained on an owner's property or held on a lead at all times. The Shire of Merredin is concerned by the incidence of dogs roaming at large, and your cooperation in registering and maintaining control of your dogs will be appreciated.
