Overall, the analysis of costs and benefits has determined there would be a negligible net benefit in moving to a co-regulation regime. There would be some
costs initially in developing and implementing a new local law. Long term benefits may accrue from the process of bringing stakeholders together to develop
the new local law such as, establishment of links between stakeholders and fostering better relations between stakeholders, greater compliance by operators
and reduced administration for Council.
