After nearly being tripped by a ferral cat outside the Info Centre two weeks ago I am fed up. As I use a crutch to walk it could have be a disaster for me. No use complaining to the council as I was doing that for a number of years and as we all see nothing has been done. If I had fallen I would have had every right to hold council to account. My dogs are registered, contained to our yard and veted as need be. About time cat owners paid to keep their pets as well. And it's long over due for council to step up and fix this problem, trap the ferrals and humanely put them down.
In Victoria from at least the 1980's, cats were registered at the same rate as dogs and were not allowed outside between sunset and sunrise. Very few people complained. Adequate cat enclosures attached to a 'pet door' were widely used. Feral cats were trapped and dealt with humanely.

I'm sick of cats coming into my yard , they stir up my dogs and use it as a toilet.
My dogs have to be registered, secured, desexed and well kept.
Same rules should apply to cats
