Guide to Cat Control Laws

The trend by local councils throughout Australia towards tighter controls on cat populations continues to grow.

Some have proposed the compulsory registration and sterilisation of cats.

In Darwin, By-Laws introduced last year require cats to be properly contained in the owners’ property, under effective control by the owner, and on a lead or enclosed in a suitable container when away from their home. Stiff fines apply if a cat is captured while ‘at large’.

Increasing numbers of local governments around the country are imposing night-time curfews to minimise neighbourhood nuisance issues and protect native wildlife.

This legislative response is being driven by a groundswell of public opinion that cat overpopulation poses a serious threat not only to the environment but to human health.

The Oscillot™ System provides an ideal way to meet the requirements of the new laws without curbing cats’ natural behaviour. It will give owners peace of mind about their pet’s safety and wellbeing.

South Australia Dog and Cat Management Act 1995 The Dog and Cat Management Board oversees powers and functions for councils to manage dogs and cats.

All dogs and cats sold from a pound or refuge must be desexed and registered.

Northern Territory No Territory-wide animal management legilation in place. Some councils have taken their own initiatives. See Below.
Western Australia There is no Statewide control of cats. Again, many councils have introduced their own management initiatives.
