Queensland Council Cat and Dog Registration Record
Council dog and cat registration forms, registration notices, renewals and registry records that identify the owner. Dog registration is statutory under the Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008. Under s 47 the registration form must state the owner's name, residential address, contact telephone number and email address, and the dog's age, breed, colour, sex, distinguishing marks, address, PPID number, desexing and regulated status. The council gives the owner a registration notice (s 49) and keeps it in the dog registry (ss 177-178). Cat registration, where required, is imposed by local law, which s 6 permits. The dog registry is open to public inspection, but owner information in the registration notice is excluded (s 179(2)), and s 39 restricts the release of identifying information. The owner block is therefore the sensitive part of the record. Declarations, attacks and destruction orders are covered by au-qld-regulated-dog-declaration-attack-record.

- Confidence justification
- Medium. The registration phrases are common on council web pages and renewal reminders, so enforce tiers need populated owner fields. Registration and tag numbers are council-defined and are matched only as labelled loose values. Microchip (PPID) numbers are matched only as a labelled loose value. The ISO 11784 15-digit structure was not verified from a primary source for this build and is not relied on. 85/75 are heuristic evidence tiers, not measured accuracy. Test values are synthetic.

Known false positives
- Council registration web pages, renewal campaigns, fee schedules and news. Mitigation: Enforce tiers need a populated owner field on the same line as its label.
- Public council dog registry extracts (s 179), which show the dog but not the owner. Mitigation: Animal fields never reach 75 on their own, owner fields reject not / withheld / excluded values, and "open to inspection" is excluded.
- Regulated dog declarations and attack records also carry owner and dog details. Mitigation: A registration notice for a regulated dog can match both classifiers. The declaration / attack classifier is the higher-risk one and should drive labelling.
