The City of Whittlesea has introduced new regulations to deliver positive benefits for cats, the community and wildlife. From 1 August 2023, all cats must be confined to their owner's property or under effective control when outside, and newly registered cats will need to be desexed. Chair Administrator Lydia Wilson said unconfined cats can be problematic for neighbours and local wildlife. "Last year Council received more than 1,000 complaints relating to cats. During consultation with the community, we heard from approximately 1800 people, with more than 80 per cent supporting some form of cat confinement," Lydia said.
