Changes proposed to the Local Law

11 March 2025

Our Local Law is designed to manage activities in our City to protect the environment and community well-being. By applying them fairly, everyone is aware of the rules.

As part of a ten-year review, we've identified a dozen by-laws that could be improved or strengthened, specifically:

  • animal management
  • safety, cleanliness and neighbourhood appeal (including some activities on private property)
  • waste disposal
  • activities on Council-managed land and roads.

How to participate

We're keen to hear your feedback on the proposed changes and anything else you think we should consider as part of the review.

Share your thoughts by attending a drop-in session or by completing the questionnaire by midnight Sunday 6 April 2025. Visit www.yourcityyourvoice.com.au/LocalLaws

Your feedback will help inform the new draft General Purposes Local Law, which will be shared for feedback in mid-2025.
