Buller District Council is on paw patrol for the number of cats allowed in homes
Buller District Council is on paw patrol for the number of cats allowed in homes
14 December 2023
From next Wednesday, only two feline friends are allowed in homes from Carters Beach, Reefton and Westport.
It was initially proposed to increase the maximum to four, but the council U-turned after public feedback.
Buller mayor Jamie Cleine says they're not anticipating a lot of complainants over how it'll be policed for other animals.
He says in an urban area, people could have a lot of livestock along with two cats, and still be within the constraints of the bylaw.
