Every 7 years we review our six existing Council By-laws. By-laws are local laws created by Council to manage issues specific to areas under our care and control – from pets to waste, trees to signage. Some By-laws are in place to protect the comfort and safety of our community while others seek to prevent damage to local government land. We’d like your help to review our proposed changes to existing By-laws. We also have a proposed new By-law regarding domestic livestock and bee management. What do you think? Have we got the balance right?
