Local Laws

Council's local laws covering a broad range of issues

Council has in place a number of local laws which regulate a broad range of issues within our community.

 The Local Government Act 2009 establishes several types of local laws including:

  • local law - developed independently by an individual local government tailored to meet the specific needs of its community
  • interim local law - effective for up to six months to enable local governments to quickly adopt a local law to address a particular issue
  • subordinate local law - made under a head of power contained in a local law to provide for the detailed implementation of the broader principles contained in the local law
  • model local law - a local law approved by the Minister for Local Government as suitable for adoption by local governments, if required.
