This report is part of council's commitment to reporting back to the community. It highlights how we listened and what we heard, insights that will ultimately shape the direction of the Council Plan and accompanying Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan.
Review the report
Councils use local laws to respond to issues and community needs and complement the council's responsibilities and powers under both state and federal laws. Where appropriate, councils may adopt local laws to protect public health, safety and amenity in a municipality and to govern the use of the Common Seal.
Local laws passed by councils are designed to ensure the actions of an individual or group do not have an adverse impact on the rest of the community and only apply within the municipality in which they are passed.
