Proposed Cats Amendment Local Law 2025
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.
For transparency, your feedback may be published as part of reporting, however, we respect your privacy and all identifying information will be removed and your feedback kept anonymous.
Feedback closes at 4pm on Friday 12 September 2025.
