Shire of Pingelly Save the Numbats Local Law 2025

Delegated Legislation Committee (2025 - current)· 13 November 2025general_report

The WA Delegated Legislation Committee recommends disallowing the Shire of Pingelly's 'Save the Numbats Local Law 2025' due to inconsistencies with the Cat Act 2011. The law contains provisions exceeding the Act's scope, particularly regarding cat containment and responsibilities of cat 'keepers'. The Shire's lack of response to the Committee's concerns further prompted the recommendation.
