  LOCAL LAWS
  In addition to its policies, procedures and guidelines, Council relies on its statutory
  powers to make local laws to regulate a broad range of issues and areas in its
  community, including but not limited to:
   • animal management,
   • parks, jetties and boat ramps,
   • parking,
   • short stay accommodation,
   • waste management,
   • public health,
   • roads,
   • Council property and other public places, and
   • the administration, implementation and enforcement of the local laws and
     subordinate local laws.

  Council adopts its local laws in accordance with the requirements under the
  Local Government Act 2009 and regularly reviews its local laws to ensure they are
  responsive to the specific needs of our community.


  DELEGATIONS
  Delegations are a statutory power and procedure permitting a person to entrust
  their statutory authority to another. Delegations entrust certain types of decisions
  to the CEO, employees or committees. As such, delegates personally hold and
  possess the powers and responsibilities that they have been given and are
  accountable for their decisions and actions.

  The Local Government Act 2009 enables Council to delegate to the CEO the
  capacity to exercise any of its powers or duties conferred on Council.
  Additionally, the Act provides that Council, the Mayor and the CEO may delegate
  their powers as follows:
   • Council may delegate powers to the Mayor, CEO, a Standing Committee, the
     chairperson of a Standing Committee or another local government for the
     purposes of a joint government activity.
   • The Mayor may delegate their powers to another elected member.
   • The CEO may delegate their powers to an employee or contractor of Council.
