About Local Laws

Under the Local Government Act 2009, local governments have two main roles:

1. A local law making role; and
2. An executive role, which includes:
   • A policy-making role;
   • An administrative role; and
   • A local law enforcement role.

A Local Law is a law about a matter within the jurisdiction of the local government. A Subordinate Local Law is a law made by a local government about a matter that a Local Law expressly provides. Council employs a team of Local Laws officers to enforce legislation, thereby protecting community needs and ensuring the good rule and government of the area.

Should you have a matter or query please contact Council on phone (07) 4189 9100.

An emergency 'call-out' service is available where a concern is of a serious nature and requires urgent attention outside normal office hours, for example, livestock on the road or a dangerous dog attack.

For out of hours emergency call-outs please phone contact Council on phone (07) 4189 9100.

Following is a list of Council's Local Laws and Subordinate Local Laws, which are also available to view on the State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning Website.
