On 28 October 2019 Council resolved to amend the current suite of local laws. These amendments commenced on 1 November 2019. This was as a result of our community engagement process and review of feedback received.
BACKGROUND
A local law is a law made by an individual council in accordance with the Local Government Act 2009. A council can make local laws in response to particular issues in its local government area and to ensure the good rule and government of its area.
New local laws were introduced in 2013 and council recently reviewed those laws to ensure they remain relevant and contemporary. The review resulted in some minor amendments and we would like to hear what the community thinks about the amended local laws for our city.
Most of the changes were operational in nature and included an update of legislative references. The initial consultation period was from 17th July 2019 until 7th August 2019 and has now closed. Due to submissions made during the initial consultation period resulting in changes to minimum standards for Temporary Entertainment Events, Council conducted further consultation on the amended drafts. The consultation period for the additional amendments to Local Law (Amending) Local Law No.3 (Commercial Licensing) 2019 and Subordinate Local Law (Amending) Subordinate Local Law No.3.1(Commercial Licensing) 2019 was from 30 August 2019 to 20 September 2019 and has now closed.
