From 1 July 2021, AlburyCity will be managing the Albury Animal Care Centre (AACC). There are already standard fees and charges listed in Council’s Fees and Charges Schedule for the AACC that formed part of the exhibited Council Draft Budget for 2021/22, yet some fees were not able to be charged by AlburyCity while a contractor managed the facility. These proposed fees to be added to the Schedule are for adopting dogs and cats and microchipping services.

Specifically, these fees are:

	Item	Unit of measure	Fee
1.	Dog adoption fee	Per animal	$110.00
2.	Cat adoption fee	Per animal	$80.00
3.	Microchipping	Per animal	$35.00

These fees support the proposed model of service delivery for the AACC, with a strong focus on education about responsible pet ownership including microchipping, returning animals to their owners prior to impounding and, if this cannot be done, the rehoming of pets where possible.

We welcome your feedback on the Adoption and Microchipping Fees. Submissions will be received until 5:00 pm Wednesday 28 July 2021 and can be submitted via the form above or addressed to:

Education and Compliance, PO Box 323 Albury NSW 2640 or info@alburycity.nsw.gov.au
