Black and white dog

The Nhulunbuy Corporation's Animal Control department reminds residents of Nhulunbuy of correct reporting methods and the extent of its services.

Any dogs at large can be reported via phone to our Animal Management Officer on 0419 838 064. The AMO is responsible for ensuring the safe return of any dogs to their owner. In accordance with NCL's Feedback Policy CO06, posts made on social media are not sufficient to result in action from the AMO. Email, text or the use of Snap Send Solve can also be used to report dogs at large, although these reporting methods can result in delays in action - a phone call is the quickest and easiest way to be in touch with the correct authority. 

For any incidents involving a dog, such as an attack or menacing, the Nhulunbuy Corporation is able to commence a full investigation upon the return of an Dog Incident Statement form. This can be taken from our website, or by coming into the Nhulunbuy Corporation office on Westal Street.

Please note, without making a direct report to the Nhulunbuy Corporation via the correct avenues, action cannot be taken.
