Peter, I feel your pain.

Depending on how cats get to the roof, cat/possum spikes may help. They are not sharp and not designed for animals to get injured. They just make walking on them very uncomfortable.

We had a similar problem of cats partying on the roof (no possums here). They used a wall to get to the roof and after placing cat/possum spikes on the wall they moved somewhere else. I got the spikes from ebay but they are probably available elsewhere.

Also, not all councils deal with the cat problem the same way. Ring your local council and check.

@Peter Ward, not all cats are the same. I had 4 cats in the past and they all preferred sandy areas as toilets. But currently one of the neighbour's cats prefers to use grass as toilet. Seriously. Plenty of sand around but this one goes for grass. It is a real nuisance always having to check the grass before walking on it. Had to clean the lawn mower once as well.
If you don't believe me I can send you photos. Even have one taken this morning (I am collecting photographic evidence for the local council complaint).
