By-laws
The State Government, via The Local Government Act 1999 and Dog and Cat Management Act 1995, empowers local governments to make local laws (by-laws) that suit the needs and resources of their Council area.
The purpose of by-laws is to provide Council with the power to respond to community needs and address matters within a municipality, which are not captured in other legislation.
By-laws complement the Council’s responsibilities and powers under other legislation and are introduced to protect public health, safety, and amenity in the local area.
