The Surf Coast Council’s new cat restrictions are now in effect across the shire.

Council officers will seize cats found outside their premises and owners will need to claim them within eight days.

The new laws replace the former condition that required cats in urban-zoned areas to be securely confined to the owner’s premises between 8pm and 6am.
