Cat containment
Council noted a report providing a response a Notice of Motion regarding cat management.
The report notes that, under the Companion Animals Act 1998, cats can roam freely except in designated wildlife protection areas or public areas where food is prepared or consumed.
Council currently has limited powers related to the management of cats. Cat management will continue to prove challenging until the NSW Government amends the Companion Animals Act to allow councils to impose stricter control measures or cat curfews.
As requested, Council staff have written to the Office of Local Government and Local Government NSW regarding this issue.
Council will now write to the relevant minister asking to be part of the ‘Keeping Cats Safe at Home’ program.
