In August 2022, we introduced seven by-laws. These by by-laws outline the local government land, permits, and penalties, and rules around moveable signs, dogs, animal management, roads and cats.
Most of these by-laws are already in effect, but by 1 January 2023 by-law 6 ‘cat curfew’ will be fully implemented.
Residents told us we should create a new cat by-law.
This means you will now be responsible for keeping your cat at your premises between 8 pm and 7 am.
This will protect our local cats and wildlife, and reduce nuisance complaints.
