The walls are closing in on Perth cats, with another council banning them from more areas. The City of South Perth’s Cats Local Law 2024 proposes to ban cats from 27 areas, including Neil McDougall Park, Manning Bushland, Millers Pool, lakes in Sir James Mitchell Park, Curtin Primary School Bushland and Collier Park Golf Course. A council report said those areas had been identified as sensitive for wildlife. Cats found in them will be seized and removed under the new law.
“While it may be the desire of council and the community to restrict cats in ways that are considered appropriate to protect wildlife, the city is limited in its local law.” Cat owners who commit an offence under the proposed law — including having a cat in a prohibited area — could be fined up to $5000 and $500 per day for ongoing offences. The proposed law will be be advertised for public comment.
