At the Ordinary Council Meeting on Tuesday 22 October 2024, Council endorsed the Cats Local Law 2024. Read the Minutes (External link) from the 22 October 2024 Ordinary Council Meeting. The Cats Local Law 2024 came into effect on 4 December 2024 and is available on the City’s website southperth.wa.gov.au/local-laws.

The City of South Perth proposes to repeal the Cats Local Law 2016 and replace it with the proposed Cats Local Law 2024.

The purpose of the proposed local law is to control the keeping of cats, set a number of cats a person can keep, provide controls for nuisance cats and to prohibit cats in specified areas.

The effect of the proposed local law is to encourage responsible cat ownership, that a person must not keep more than the prescribed number of cats provided for by the proposed local law and to create cat prohibited areas.
