Mayor Chrissy Weller said the local law aims to provide for the peace, order and good governance of a municipality, as required by the Local Government Act 2020.
"The General Local Law provides the legal and administrative framework for Council to ensure the smooth operation of a range of community activities," she said.
The range of what the Local Law covers is very extensive, with a summary being:
- Roads, public places and council land - outlining what can occur, including busking, abandoned vehicles, trees on private property, signs, consumption of liquor, placement of bulk rubbish containers;
- The environment - capturing open air burning, caravans and camping on public and Council land, dangerous and unsightly land;
- Animals - the numbers of dogs and cats in residential areas, other animals permitted, livestock movements, animal nuisance, through to when pigeons can be exercised in residential areas;
As well as the administration of the Local Law and enforcement.
Other stories:
The General Local Law also contains a number of attachments, covering alcohol restriction zones, and a Code of Practice for building and works; livestock; trading; waste, recycling and garden organics.
The draft Local Law is available on council's website, in the "now open" section, with an easy online form to assist community feedback.
