Dog owners in the Sunshine Coast Council area will face a sharp rise in pet registration costs under Sunshine Coast Council’s (SCC) 2026-27 fees and charges, with the annual cost of registering a desexed dog set to more than double. The fee will increase from $30 to $63, which equates to about 110%.
The new charge places SCC above neighbouring Noosa Council, where the 2026-27 annual registration fee for a desexed dog is listed at $55. While the difference between the 2 councils is $8/year, the increase has attracted attention because Sunshine Coast’s previous fee was substantially lower than Noosa’s.
The rise comes as many households continue to manage higher everyday costs, with the steeper registration fee taking a bigger bite out of the annual budgets of pet owners across the region.
SCC reviews animal registration fees each year through its budget and fees and charges process. According to council, the latest review found previous fees were not covering the full cost of providing animal management services, with the updated charges intended to help maintain those services sustainably.
Registration fees help fund services including lost pet reunification, responses to roaming animals and dog attacks, animal management patrols, compliance activities and the operation of the Sippy Creek Animal Pound.
SCC says registration revenue also supports community education programs on responsible pet ownership, dog bite prevention initiatives in schools and kindergartens, pop-up information events, signage in public open spaces and partnerships with animal welfare organisations.
Cat owners are also required to register their pets with council each year, while SCC continues to offer lifetime registration for desexed and microchipped cats. Cat registration fees remain unchanged at $43 for a desexed cat and $46 for an entire cat.
Under Qld’s animal management laws dog registrations must be renewed annually. The Sunshine Coast registration period runs from 1 October to 30 September the following year. All annual renewals must be paid by 30 September. Visit: t.ly/EmOcT. ...

The second annual Eumundi Writers Festival has been hailed a great success, drawing writers, book lovers and visitors to town for the 3-day event from 4-6 September.
The festival opened with a celebration at Berkelouw Books Eumundi where dignitaries, authors, artists, volunteers and supporters gathered for an evening focused on storytelling, connection and the human condition.
The opening event began with a Welcome to Country by Zeke Davies, who shared stories about the origins of Sunshine Coast place names and explained how understanding Indigenous names can deepen connection to Country.
Local artist Ellenie Faith-Kirkman discussed the painting she created that was used for the festival’s promotional material, describing it as a work centred on hope. She said emotions such as joy, love and loss connect people across cultures and places, and that creative expression through words, painting, music or oral storytelling can reveal shared threads of humanity.
