Proposed Cats Amendment Local Law 2025
The City of South Perth is seeking public comment on a proposed Cats Amendment Local Law 2025.
At its meeting held 24 June 2024, Council approved advertising the proposed Cats Local Law 2024. After the advertising period closed, Council approved the making of the Cats Local Law 2024, at its 22 October 2024 meeting.
The Cats Local Law 2024 was then provided to the Joint Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation (JSCDL) on 28 November 2024 for their review. The JSCDL is a joint committee of the Parliament of Western Australia, delegated by Parliament, to scrutinise subsidiary legislation. The City was subsequently advised that a number of drafting errors in the Cats Local law 2024 require amending.
What are the proposed changes to the local law?
1. Within six years, amend the local law as follows:
In the clause 1.5 definition of 'prescribed premises', replace 'Cat Regulations 2012' with 'Cat (Uniform Local Provisions) Regulations 2013'.
In Clause 2.6(1)(a), the two prescribed conditions should be split into subclauses (1)(a) and (1)(b) respectively. The remaining subclauses should then be re-alphabetised to (1)(c) and (1)(d).
In Clause 3.14(1)(d)(i), insert the words 'either the transferee or' inserted after the phrase 'written evidence that.'
In Schedule 1, in the item referring to the 'Gentilli Boat Foreshore to Mt Henry Foreshore', replace the phrase 'Gentilli Boat Foreshore' with the phrase ‘Gentilli Boat Ramp Foreshore’.
Make all consequential amendments arising from the above amendments.
2. Not enforce the local law to the contrary before it is amended in accordance with undertaking 1.
These amendments do not make any fundamental changes to the local law, they will however ensure that the local law is written in a consistent manner and easy to read for members of the public.
Complete an online feedback form. Hard copy feedback forms and copies of the proposed local law are available at the Civic Centre and South Perth and Manning Libraries
If you don't want to complete an online feedback form, you can make a written submission addressed to: Chief Executive Officer, City of South Perth, Cnr Sandgate St and South Tce, South Perth, WA 6151, including your name and postal address so the City can respond to your submission and advise you of the final outcome
Contact the City on 9474 0777 or use the ask a question tool to get in touch with a member of the project team.
Feedback closes at 4pm on Friday 12 September 2025.
Information and documents on this page are available in alternative formats upon request.

It should be noted that the changes being made to the local law are under the direction of the Joint Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation (JSCDL) which is a committee of the Parliament of Western Australia, which reviews all delegated legislation such as local laws on behalf of the Parliament. The JSCDL has the power to direct local governments to make necessary changes to local laws to ensure the local law is:
Within power;
Has no unintended effect on any person’s existing rights or interests;
Provides an effective mechanism for the review of administrative decisions; and
Contains only matter that is appropriate for subsidiary legislations
While your feedback is sought and valued, the City is very limited in its ability to change the proposed Cats Amendment Local Law 2025, as directed by the JSCDL.
