Proposed Cat Local Law

Council is proposing to make a Shire of Denmark Cats Local Law for the following purposes:

  1. Regulate the standard number of cats per property
  2. The process of determining, transferring, cancellation or renewing an application to keep more than the standard number of cats at any one property
  3. Nuisance cats
  4. Modified penalties for clauses relating to items 2 and 3 above

The proposed local law will apply to the entire Shire of Denmark Local Government area so Council is inviting submissions of feedback from our community.

How do I have my say?

All Shire of Denmark residents and ratepayers are welcome and encouraged to contribute to this discussion. Council will carefully consider all public submissions received during the Public Comment period.

To submit your feedback formally, you must provide your comments in writing to the CEO via email to enquiries@denmark.wa.gov.au or via letter sent to PO Box 183, Denmark WA 6333, or you are welcome to drop off your letter to the Shire offices. You can also complete the form online below under the Public Comment section.

Frequently Asked Question: Do comments made on social media platforms count?
We monitor community sentiment online, but feedback must be formally submitted to the Shire in order for it to be recorded then presented to, and considered by, Council as part of the decision making process.
