Bega Valley Shire Council
General Information:

The Bega Valley Shire is located at the south-eastern extremity of New South Wales approximately half way between Sydney and Melbourne.  The Shire’s coastal fringe extends from Wallaga Lake (Bermagui) in the north to Cape Howe and the Victorian border in the south.  Collectively, this 106-kilometre section of coastline forms the beautiful Sapphire Coast.  Inland, higher peaks of the Great Dividing Range give way to rolling hills, and numerous rivers and streams.

Suburbs within Bega Valley Shire Council:

Bega, Bermagui, Candelo, Eden, Merimbula, Pambula, Tathra, Tura Beach  
 
Dog Registration Requirements:
 
Bega Valley Shire Council requires all dogs over the age of 12 weeks to be registered and microchiped.  Once the dog is registered with the council a unique tag is issued to the owner to be placed on the dogs collar. This tag aids in the prompt return of dogs that may be found wandering.
 
Number of Dogs Permitted Per House hold:
 
Bega Valley Shire Council does not have a limit to the number of dogs per household on non farming land providing that the dogs are not a nuisance through inadequate containment, noise and bad hygiene.
