Delegated Legislation Committee (2017 - 2021)· 22 March 2018general_report

The Delegated Legislation Committee found that the Shire of Chittering failed to follow mandatory procedures under the Local Government Act 1995 when repealing a local law related to signs, hoardings, and bill posting. The Shire confused the local law review process with the law-making process, leading to deficiencies in public notice and communication with the Minister. The Committee recommended disallowance of the repeal local law.

Impact

The disallowance impacts the Shire of Chittering's local laws and potentially affects residents and businesses subject to regulations on signs, hoardings and bill postings. It also highlights the importance of local governments adhering to proper procedures when creating or repealing local laws.
