Council By-Laws
The Local Government Act 1999 allows Council to establish By-laws for the good rule and government of the area, and for the convenience, comfort and safety of its community.
Council undertook and completed a review of its suite of By-laws in 2018 as they were due to expire on the 1 January 2019.
The following By-laws were adopted at the meeting of Council on Monday 18 June 2018 and were published in the Government Gazette on Thursday 5 July 2018. These By-laws commenced operation on Tuesday 6 November 2018, in accordance with section 249(5) of the Local Government Act 1999, being four months after the day on which the By-Laws were published in the Government Gazette.
A By-law is legally enforceable and is required to be reviewed by Council every seven years with the next review to be undertaken in 2025.
