Observations arising from the Committee Review of the City of Joondalup Local Government and Public Property Amendment Local Law 2015
Delegated Legislation Committee (2001 - 2017)· 8 September 2016review_report
The WA Delegated Legislation Committee reviewed the City of Joondalup's amendment to its Local Government and Public Property Local Law 2015, focusing on the use of 'determination devices' which allow the council to sub-delegate powers. The committee found the amendment itself unobjectionable but raised concerns about the potential for unreasonable or disproportionate application of the power.
Impact
Charities and individuals placing collection bins on local government property may be negatively affected. The broader community may be affected by the precedent set regarding the use of determination devices by local governments.
