City of Canning Boundary Update and Response to New Cat Laws
What happened
The City of Canning's boundaries were updated to include the Canning River Regional Park. Separately, the City of Canning began consulting ratepayers via an online survey regarding potential cat curfews, ahead of new state laws that are currently before parliament in Western Australia. Deputy Mayor Mark Bain noted that public opinion suggests a desire for some form of curfew.

Why it matters
New state legislation will grant local councils greater power to restrict cat movements, including requiring cats to be under owner control or contained if they leave property. This regulatory shift requires the City of Canning to adapt its local policies and operational procedures.
