This project is currently under review.

Under Section 3.12 of the Local Government Act 1995 and the Cat Act 2011

Proposed Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale Amendment Cat Local Law 2024

The Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale has resolved to give notice of the proposed Amendment Cat Local Law 2024.

The purpose of the Cat Amendment Local Law 2024 is to:

1. Amend clause 1.5 by updating the definition of ' Veterinarian’.

2. Delete clause 3.7(1)(b) to remove the requirement for permit holders to keep each cat contained on the premises and amend clauses 1.5 and 2.2(1) to remove the reference to 'effective control’.

3. Amend typographical errors in clause 3.3(2) and amend the clause reference errors in Item 3 of Schedule 2.

The effect of Cat Amendment Local Law 2024 is to:

1. Reference the correct definition of 'Veterinarian' as per the Veterinary Practice Act 2021

2. Ensure the local law does not place inconsistent or unauthorised conditions on cats being in public land beyond those provided in the Cat Act 2011

3. Provide clarity in clause 3.3(2) and ensure proper operation of Item 3 in Schedule 2.

A copy of the proposed Amendment Local Law may be inspected at the Shire offices during normal opening times at 6 Paterson Street, Mundijong, 6123. It will also be available at www.yoursaysj.sjshire.wa.gov.au and feedback may be submitted by 1700hrs 11/08/2024.
