flag Western Australia proposes cat containment laws to protect wildlife, with fines up to $5,000, as part of a 2026 legislative review.

flag Western Australia is advancing legislation that would allow local councils to enforce cat containment laws to protect native wildlife, following years of restrictions under the current Cat Act. flag The proposed amendments, part of a broader review of cat ownership, could enable councils to require cats to stay on private property, impose curfews, or restrict access to public spaces, with penalties like fines up to $5,000. flag The move responds to concerns that outdoor cats kill billions of native animals annually, with nearly 80% of councils expressing interest in adopting such rules. flag Public consultation is ongoing, and the bill could be introduced to parliament later in 2026.
