Project information

To comply with State Government legislation requirements CoA has recently reviewed and (in some instances) revised its current By-laws. As required by State legislation CoA is now seeking feedback from the public on its revised By-laws.

Background

Council has a general power to make By-laws which are designed to provide good rule and governance and assist council in providing a convenient, safe and comfortable space for its community.

Council’s power to make a By-law is derived from Section 246 of the Local Government Act 1999 (SA) which requires the review and formal adoption of the By-laws. Council currently has 10 By-Laws (refer Consultation Pack).

It is a legislated requirement that Council reviews (and if necessary revises) its By-laws every seven years.

The By-laws have, therefore, been reviewed and some changes proposed. The vast majority of the proposed changes are minor in nature and a result of legislative, interpretive or grammatical factors. The outcome is nine new By-laws (refer Consultation Pack). In accordance with current SA legislation Council is providing the public with an opportunity to comment on the proposed nine new By-laws.
