FAQ's
What is a local law?
A local law is legislation made by local governments to deal with things a local government is required to regulate.
Is the City allowed to make a local law?
Yes, the Local Government Act 1995 and other acts of Parliament give any local government the power to make a local law.
Can the City make whatever local law it likes?
No. Local law making by local governments is subject to the authority of State Parliament and a dedicated Parliamentary committee that reviews all local laws made by local governments. If a local law made by a local government is beyond lawful power or does not have an Act of Parliament to enable it, the Parliamentary committee can recommend to Parliament it be struck out.
Why did the City give public notice for the proposed local law?
It is a requirement of the Local Government Act 1995 to do so.
Why do we need the proposed Rural and Urban Environment and Public Nuisance Local Law?
As the local environmental health enforcement agency, the City needs a regulatory mechanism to deal with nuisance issues that can arise from time to time in the district involving odour, noise, dust, vermin control, hoarding and pollution complaints. The proposed local law continues the mechanism that has existed for many years in the district and will repeal the existing Animals and Nuisance Local Law, and the Bee Keeping Local Law with a single contemporary local law.
What things will this proposed local law deal with?
The proposed local law will allow the City to deal with a range of nuisances that can arise from common activities on land. Think of things like animal husbandry, building site litter, spray paint drift, unreasonable noise, smoke emissions, poultry keeping and bee keeping.
Many people in the district do these things without an issue. Sometimes however a nuisance can be caused to others, meaning the City must have the ability to take action when a nuisance is substantiated.
Can I be fined if I breach the local law?
Not all breaches of the proposed local law will be offences. It will depend on the nature of the offence.
How does this affect me?
Most people will continue their day-to-day activities and not notice any difference. As noted above, the proposed local law continues a regulatory scheme that has existed for many years. In addition, there are some new provisions that will allow the City to act on certain nuisance complaints that previously were not actionable.
Can I have a say on the proposed local law?
Yes you can. Public comment is open until 18 September 2026.
What happens after the public comment period?
The Council will need to consider any public submissions, and then decide whether to make the local law. If the Council decides to make the local law, it will then be published in the Government Gazette and comes into force 14 days after the day it is published.
