B.   Making a local law that is an interim local law

The process (“interim local law making process”) stated in this resolution must be used to
make a local law that is an adopted interim local law.

Step 1          By resolution, propose to adopt the interim local law.

Step 2          Consult with relevant government entities about the overall State interest in the
                proposed interim local law, if the interim local law does not incorporate a model
                local law or is a subordinate local law.

Step 3          By resolution, Council must decide whether to:
                (a)   adopt and make the proposed interim local law and, if there is an existing
                      local law about the matter that is inconsistent with what is adopted amend
                      or repeal the existing local law so that there is no inconsistency for the
                      period of effect of the interim local law (amendment or repeal of the
                      inconsistent law may be done in the same instrument adopting the local
                      law); or
                (b)   proceed with the making of the proposed interim local law with
                      amendments; or
                (c)   not proceed with the making of the proposed interim local law.

                If Council resolves to proceed with the making of the interim local law but not
                to set an expiry date for the interim local law, the use of the interim local law
                making process is to be discontinued, and the proposed adoption of the local
                law with amendments must then be progressed using the “other local law
                making process” (provided separately), commencing at step 2.

                If the Council resolves to adopt and make the interim local law with or without
                amendments, continue this process at step 4.

Step 4          Let the public know that the interim local law has been made, by
                publishing a notice of the making of the local law in the gazette, fully complying
                with the requirements set out in section 29B(3) of the Local Government Act
                2009, and on the local government’s website, fully complying with the
                requirements set out in section 29B(4) of the Local Government Act 2009,
                within 1 month after the day when the local government made the
                resolution.

Step 5          As soon as practicable after the notice is published in the gazette, ensure
                that a copy of the interim local law may be inspected and purchased at the
                Tewantin Council Office, and be viewed and downloaded from the Council’s
                website.

Step 6          Within 14 days after the notice is published in the gazette, give the Minister:
                (a)   a copy of the notice; and
                (b)   copy of the interim local law in electronic form.

Step 7          Update the Council’s register of its local laws.
