The City of Kalamunda Keeping and Control of Cats Local Law 2023 is in effect from 24 May 2023, the purpose of the Local Law is to make provisions about:

• Cats not to be a nuisance;
• Cat prohibited areas; and
• The number of cats kept on a premises.

The City proposes to make an amendment to the Keeping and Control of Cats Local Law 2023 to remove Clause 3.9(1)(b) “Each cat shall be contained on the premises unless under the effective control of a person”;

Purpose of the Amendment

Clause 3.9(1)(b) represents a further step in policy beyond that authorised by the  Cat Act 2011.

The City is still encouraging responsible Cat ownership; catios and cat enclosures are highly recommended for the safety of your furry friend.
