Cat Local Law
🐾 Your Opinion Matters! Help Shape Armadale's New Cat Local Law 🐱
The City of Armadale values your input on the draft of our new Cat Local Law. Your feedback is crucial in creating a community-focused and effective Law.
The proposed Local Law aims to:
i. Ensure cats are not a nuisance to residents,
ii. Identify cat prohibited areas (check out our detailed maps for Central, East, and West zones), and
iii. Regulate cats in non-public spaces.
This initiative promotes responsible cat ownership without enforcing cat confinement. View the draft Cat Local Law here and share your thoughts.

This animation was co-developed by Animal Management in Rural and Remote Indigenous Communities and the Threatened Species Recovery Hub. It is narrated by Jimmy Edgar (winner of the 2013 NAIDOC Caring for Country award), from Yawuru and Karrijarri country.
The aim of the animation is to highlight that while cats are important companion animals, their population must be managed, to reduce the risks of cats transmitting pathogens to native wildlife, people and livestock, and reduce impacts to wildlife.
We hope that it is useful for sharing knowledge on cats and their impacts, especially in remote communities.
