C.    Making a local law that is an “other” local law

The process (“other local law making process”) stated in this resolution must be used to make a
local law other than:
(a)   a model local law; or
(b)   an interim local law; or
(c)   a subordinate local law.

Step 1            By resolution, propose to make the proposed local law.

Step 2            Consult with relevant government entities about the overall State interest in the
                  proposed local law.

Step 3            Consult with the public about the proposed local law for at least 21 days
                  (the “consultation period”) by:
                  (a)  publishing a notice (a “consultation notice”) about the proposed local law
                       at least once in a newspaper circulating generally in the local
                       government’s area; and
                  (b) displaying the consultation notice in a conspicuous place at the Tewantin
                       Council Office from the first day of the consultation period until the end of
                       the last day of the consultation period; and
                  (c) making a copy of the proposed local law available for inspection at the
                       Tewantin Council Office and on Council’s website during the consultation
                       period; and
                  (d) making copies of the proposed local law available for purchase at the
                       Tewantin Council Office and available for download from Council’s
                       website during the consultation period.
                  The consultation notice must state:
                  (a) the name of the proposed local law; and
                  (b) the purpose and general effect of the proposed local law; and
                  (c) the length of the consultation period and the first and last days of the
                       period;
                  (d) that during the consultation period copies of the local law are available
                       for viewing and purchase at the Tewantin Council Office and for
                       viewing and downloading from Council’s website; and
                  (e) that written submissions by any person supporting or objecting to the
                       proposed local law may be made and given to the Council on or before
                       the last day of the consultation period stating-
                  (f)  the grounds of the submission; and
                  (g) the facts and circumstances relied on in support of the grounds.

                  If the Council decides, by resolution, that the proposed local law only amends
                  an existing local law to make an insubstantial change, the Council may
                  proceed to Step 6 without satisfying step 3 or step 5.

Step 4            If the proposed local law contains an anti-competitive provision; comply with
                  the procedures prescribed under regulation for the review of anti-competitive
                  provisions. For avoidance of doubt, step 3 and this step 4 may be undertaken
                  concurrently.
