Domestic Animals

In alignment with the local laws of the Whitsunday Regional Council, the zoning regulations for properties determine whether domestic animals can be kept, and the number permitted. On Hamilton Island, these local laws apply, and we must adhere to them by granting animal approvals accordingly.

Currently, Hamilton Island has reached the maximum allowance permitted by our zoning regulations. As a result, we are unable to accept new applications at this time. However, we will notify the community through this platform when applications reopen.
 
For inquiries related to Guide dogs, Hearing Dogs, and Assistance dogs, please consult the Guide, Hearing, and Assistance Dogs Act 2009 to understand the criteria that define these types of dogs prior to making application in this regard.
