Mount Alexander Shire - Mount Alexander Shire has adopted a 24-hour cat curfew with a six-month education-first transition before enforcement begins.
Mount Alexander Shire has adopted a 24-hour cat curfew requiring cats to be contained on their owner’s property at all times.
Council has framed the first six months as an education-first transition before enforcement begins under its Domestic Animal Management Plan.
Education-first programs still need records: resident advice, warnings, repeat reports, officer notes and the point where a matter moves toward a notice.
The practical test is how rangers record warnings during the transition so later enforcement decisions can be understood in context.
