D.       Making a subordinate local law
The process (“subordinate local law making process”) stated in this resolution must be used to
make a subordinate local law.
Council 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 local law”) has not finished.
Council may use steps 1 to 5 of the subordinate local law making process (other than actually
making the subordinate local law) before the proposed authorising local law is made if:
                  (a)   in making the proposed authorising local law, the Council has to satisfy:
                        (i)    the model local law making process; or
                        (ii) the other local law making process; and
                  (b)   if the proposed authorising local law is made under the other local law
                        making process- the notice about the subordinate local law under step 2
                        of the subordinate local law making process is published no earlier than
                        the notice about the proposed authorising local law under step 3 of the
                        other local law making process is published.
Step 1            By resolution, propose to make the proposed subordinate local law.
Step 2            Consult with the public about the proposed subordinate local law for at least 21
                  days (the “consultation period”) by –
                  (a)   publishing a notice (a “consultation notice”) about the proposed
                        subordinate local law at least once in a newspaper circulating
                        generally in the local government’s area;
                  (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;
                  (c)   making a copy of the proposed subordinate 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 subordinate 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 subordinate local law; and
                  (b)   the name of-
                        (i)   the local law allowing the proposed subordinate local law to be
                              made; or
                        (ii) if Council has started the process for making a subordinate local
                              law even though the process for making the proposed authorising
                              local law on which the subordinate local law is to be based has not
                              finished – the proposed authorising local law; and

                        period;

                        and
                  (f)   that written submissions by any person supporting or objecting to the
