ALGA recently provided a submission to the Federal Government about the Threat Abatement Plan (TAP) to control feral cats and reduce predation from pet cats.
The submission highlighted local governments welcome any new tools for councils to manage cat movements but further actions need to have a sustainable funding source.
There is also significant work to be done to achieve social licence for local governments to enact stricter controls on the movement of pet cats across Australia.
