REPORT
Repealing of Local Laws
The purpose of this report is to further confirm Council’s decision to repeal Noosa Shire Council’s
current suite of Local Laws on 30 June 2015 as adopted at the Ordinary Meeting held on 7 May
2015.

Kent Wain, Principal Advisor, Department of Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning has
advised that in order for Council’s resolution made at the Ordinary Meeting on 7 May 2015 to
have effect, Council must repeal the current suite of Local Laws by making another Local Law
that repeals the existing Local Laws.

Accordingly, the Proposed Noosa Shire Council Local Law (Repealing) Local Law (No.1)
provided at Attachment 1 has been developed. The Proposed Repealing Local Law gives the
legal effect of repealing the following Noosa Shire Council local laws on 30 June 2015:

1.                       Noosa Shire Council Local Law No. 1 (Administration) 2011;
2.                       Noosa Shire Council Local Law No. 2 (Animal Management) 2011;



                                                                                                  Page 147 of 171
