Council's Local Laws and Subordinate Local Laws regulate various activities throughout the region.

ABOUT LOCAL LAWS

Under the Local Government Act 1993, local governments have two main roles:

• a local law making role; and
• an executive role, which includes:
  • a policy-making role
  • an administrative role
  • a local law enforcement role

A Local Law is a law about a matter within the jurisdiction of the local government. A Subordinate Local Law is a law made by a local government about a matter that a Local Law expressly provides. Council employs a team of Local Laws officers to enforce legislation, thereby protecting community needs and ensuring the good rule and government of the area.

Should you have a matter or query please contact Council.

An emergency 'call-out' service is available where a concern is of a serious nature and requires urgent attention outside normal office hours, for example livestock on the road or a dangerous dog attack.
