The WA Delegated Legislation Committee recommends disallowing the City of Bayswater's Keeping and Control of Cats Amendment Local Law 2024. The Committee finds the law inconsistent with the Cat Act 2011, exceeding its scope and attempting to circumvent previous committee processes regarding cat control in public places and containment generally.
Impact
Cat owners in the City of Bayswater would be affected by the disallowed local law. Other local governments may be impacted as the report clarifies the limits of local laws under the Cat Act 2011.
