One Tag to rule them all
To create a more sustainable service, Rotorua Lakes Council is introducing Pinetahi, the One Tag dog registration system which will save approximately 13,000 plastic dog tags from ending up in the landfill each year.
This May, Rotorua dog owners will be asked to register their kurī (dogs) for the 2024/2025 registration year. The registration process will be the same but instead of receiving a plastic dog tag, a new metal tag will be supplied.
The metal tag (when used with the supplied split ring) is designed to last the average lifetime of a dog, and owners will keep the same tag each year instead of swapping them out every 12 months as they do under the current system.
Going forward, each new registration year dog owners will be able to re-register their kurī and that’s it. No more waiting for new tags to be sent out.
Dog registration invoices will be sent to owners via email or by post in May with a reminder about the new Pinetahi One Tag system.
Key information:
- Dog registration invoices will be sent to owners in May 2024.
- Registration is due by 30 June 2024.
- There is no change to the registration process.
- New metal tags will be posted to owners with the supplied split ring.
- There are two tag sizes to suit dogs – 35mm and 25mm
