COUNCIL POLICY –LOCAL LAW MAKING PROCESS


Step 5 —      Accept and consider every submission properly made to the local government.
              A submission is properly made to the local government if it —
              (a)    is the written submission of any person about the proposed local law; and
              (b)    states—
                     (i)    the grounds of the submission; and
                     (ii) the facts and circumstances relied on in support of the grounds; and
              (c)   is given to the local government on or before the last day of the consultation
                    period.
Step 6        By resolution, decide whether to—
              (a) proceed with the making of the proposed local law as advertised; or
              (b) proceed with the making of the proposed local law with amendments; or
              (c) make the proposed local law as advertised; or
              (d) make the proposed local law with amendments; or
              (e) not proceed with the making of the proposed local law.
              If the local government resolves to proceed with the making of the proposed local
              law with amendments, and the amendments are substantial, the local government
              may again —
              (a) consult with the public at step 3; and
              (b) accept and consider every submission properly made to the local
                     government at step 5.
              For the avoidance of doubt, if an amendment changes an anti-competitive
              provision, the local government must again comply with the procedures prescribed
              under a regulation for the review of anti-competitive provisions for the amended
              anti-competitive provision.
Step 7 —      Let the public know that the local law has been made, by publishing notice of the
              making of the local law in accordance with the requirements of section 29B(1) to
              (4) inclusive of the Local Government Act 2009.
Step 8 —      As soon as practicable after the notice is published in the gazette, ensure that a
              copy of the local law may be inspected and purchased at the local government’s
              public office.
Step 9 —      Within 14 days after the notice is published in the gazette, give the Minister—
              (a)  a copy of the notice; and
              (b)  a copy of the local law in electronic form; and
              (c)  if the local law contains 1 or more anti-competitive provisions—
                   (i)     advice of each anti-competitive provision; and
                   (ii) the reasons for their inclusion.
Step 10—      Update the local government’s register of its local laws.



Part DMaking a subordinate local law

The process (subordinate local law making process) stated in this Part D must be used to make a
subordinate local law (a proposed subordinate local law).

The local government may start the process for making a subordinate local law even though the
process for making the local law (including a model local law) on which the subordinate local law is
to be based (the proposed authorising law) has not finished.
