Dog re-registration
It’s that time of year again, and Council has made it even easier to re-register your dog. If there are no changes to your dog records, just visit our website and fill in the online form and then pay with your credit card or online banking online. It couldn’t be quicker.
Make sure to register your dog before 31 July to avoid any penalties. All dogs over the age of 3 months must be registered.

Customer Complaints
Council has recently adopted a Customer Complaints Management Policy, which is now available on our website.
Under the policy, customers who are dissatisfied with a service that they have already received are encouraged to inform Council and we commit to resolving any complaints in a fair, timely and confidential manner.
Complaints can be made using the online form, emailed to Council@westlanddc.govt.nz, over the phone on 0800 474 834 or by post to Westland District Council, 36 Weld Street Hokitika, Private Bag 704, 7842.
It does not replace the Service Request system for issues where Council needs to take action to fix something.
