TIME TO CHECK YOUR DOG
AND CAT REGISTRATION
Annual dog registration renewal notices will be sent to all dog
owners during the first week of July. Following the launch of the
Statewide Dogs and Cats Online (DACO) database last year,
owners can now choose to receive their renewals by SMS, email
or post.
Renewal notice preferences can be updated via the website
It’s also a great time to update any changes to your email,
phone number or postal address.
Since July 2018, it has been mandatory to have your cat
microchipped and your cat’s microchip details can also be
registered in the DACO database. Cats are Australia’s second
most popular pet and by having their microchip details logged at
DACO lost cats have a better chance to be reunited with
their owners.
The DACO website manages registration, microchipping
information and breeder information and really is your
one-stop-shop for all the details related to your dogs and cats.
Log in today and check everything is up to date; it only
takes a moment.

PORTRAITS OF THE LOCAL
COMMUNITY
With support from the Kilburn Community Centre, The Art Bus
recently ran a photographic course where local people went out
and about in the Kilburn community and took photos of local
people, services and generally interesting spots.
Launched in March, the exhibition is available to view at
the Centre on Tuesday and Saturday mornings or Thursday
afternoons. The exhibition is on display in the hall in the corridor
near the cafe.
We thank Miranda and Claire from
and everyone who took the photos and their subjects.
LEARN SOMETHING NEW
AND ACE IT
Adult Community Education (ACE) courses are run in
partnership with the Kilburn Community Centre, Lutheran
Community Centre and the Kilburn Peace and Welcome Garden.
ACE is for adults looking for learning and training and provides
opportunities to develop skills in a fun and supportive community
setting. With its training component and community focus, it is
particularly valuable for people who want to re-engage in learning
or the community.
The Experience Café is a not-for-profit venue right in the
heart of the Centre, and is open Tuesday to Saturday from
10am-4:30pm.
For more information contact Christine via email
or phone 8405 6730.
