Under the Local Government Act 1993, local governments have two main roles:
(a) a local law making role; and
(b) an executive role, which includes:
(i) a policy-making role;
(ii) an administrative role; and
(iii) a local law enforcement role.
Council’s suite of Local Laws consist of 12 Local Laws and 20 Subordinate Local Laws.
A Local Law is a law about a matter within the jurisdiction of the local government. A Subordinate Local Law is a law made by a local government about a matter that a Local Law expressly provides.

Council employs a team of Local Laws officers to enforce legislation, thereby protecting the health and wellbeing of residents and visitors. The following programs apply:

The programs also provide an emergency ‘call-out’ service where a concern is of a serious nature and requires urgent attention, for example livestock on the road or a dangerous dog attack.
