Show Notes

Buller District Council is on paw patrol for the number of cats allowed in homes.

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.

"And when you think about an urban area, under this bylaw, people could have 2 cats, 12 chickens and 2 pigs and still be within constricts of the bylaws, so there'll be plenty of livestock in the urban area."
