Inquiry into proposed template Waste Local Law
Delegated Legislation Committee (2001 - 2017)· 27 November 2014inquiry_report
The WA Delegated Legislation Committee reviewed a proposed template for local government waste laws, developed by WALGA. The committee identified concerns around clauses that could be overly prescriptive, illogical, or uncertain, potentially exceeding the powers delegated by Parliament. The report suggests amendments to specific clauses to ensure they are within power and appropriately balance individual rights with utilitarian efficiency.
Impact
Local governments, residents, and businesses in Western Australia are affected. The changes aim to ensure waste management regulations are clear, fair, and legally sound.
