| | Be a good cat owner, keep them safe at home
Keeping cats happy at home extends their average life expectancy from just three years to between 12 and 18 years. It also helps preserve 46 per cent of Australia’s threatened fauna that live in our cities and towns.
Cockburn is one of six local governments in the southern Perth metropolitan region to launch the Happy at Home campaign this month. It's an education program for cat owners keen to keep their feline friends and native fauna safe from harm. |

Animal Management and Exercise Plan
The City's newly adopted Animal Management and Exercise Plan will enable about 40 per cent of Cockburn's coast to be accessible to dogs and provide more off-leash dog exercise areas at large public open spaces.
The plan will also create a new local cat law in 2021, prohibiting them from conservation and bushland areas and confine cats to their owners' property for their own protection and that of local fauna, by 2025. |
