Consultation has concluded


Conditions for when cats are allowed onto City of Fremantle local government property.


The City has recently adopted an amendment to its Cat Management Local Law to prohibit cats from being taken onto any local government property in the City of Fremantle. During consultation of this amendment concerns were raised that prohibiting cats from all local government property would impact owners by effectively making it an offence to take a cat to a veterinarian, to or from a boarding facility, to transport while moving house and to also prevent a tethered and secured cat from being exercised.

This restriction to transportation of cats is an unintended effect of the proposed amendment to the Cat Management Local Law so in order to mitigate this effect a determination, allowing cats to be brought onto local government property in a specific manner, has been proposed.

To enable this change Council resolved to make a determination under Section 2.7 of its Local Government Property Local Law at the Ordinary Council Meeting held on 22 June 2022. The meeting minutes are available here.


Purpose and Effect

The purpose and effect of this determination is:

Purpose: To allow cats to be brought onto City of Fremantle local government property under specified circumstances.

Effect: To allow for the exercise and transportation of cats on City of Fremantle local government property


The Determination is available in our document library. Hard copies are available to view at the Walyalup Civic Centre, 151 High Street, Fremantle.


Submissions can be made using the online form below by 5.00pm Monday 25 July 2022.
