Thank you 

Consultation is now closed. 

Thank you for taking the time to read the Amending By-Law, we appreciate your interest.

Council will consider any feedback at the Ordinary Council meeting on the 24 October 2023 prior to endorsement. Check back here for an update after that date. 

This time last year, Council reviewed and endorsed its by-laws after community consultation. This happens every seven years as per regulations set out in the Local Government Act 1999.

If you’re not familiar, by-laws are local laws that set standards and regulate activities within a council area. They are established by councils to deal with issues specific to their community. For this reason, one council area can have different by-laws from the next.

As part of the by-laws review, the State Government’s Legislative Review Committee (LRC) requested Council make some minor changes.

According to Legislation, to change an endorsed by-law, Council must make a new by-law for the purpose of amending any existing by-laws. In response, Council has developed an additional Amending By-Law to address the changes requested by the LRC.
