The latest tranche of proposed Local Laws will be open for public comment on 24 April 2023 until 14 May 2023, asking local residents for their feedback on the proposed Community Standards for Private Land Local Law.
Mayor Peter Flannery said changes arising from these proposed laws reflect the feedback Council received through an extensive community consultation period in 2021.
“Thanks to thousands of submissions from our community, Council is progressively releasing the proposed laws,” he said.
“Whether you support or object to the proposed Local Laws, we want to hear from you.”
