Local Law 1 - Administration

Local Law 1 (Administration) 2011 applies across the Fraser Coast region being originally gazetted on 14 February, 2014. Subordinate Local Law 1 (Administration) 2019 applies across the Fraser Coast region being originally gazetted on 17 January 2020.

Since then a number of local law amendments have been adopted by council. These amendments are regularly consolidated into the local laws and subordinate local laws. This is done to make them clear and easy to use.

This law provides a legal and procedural framework for the local government to administer, implement and enforce the local laws, subordinate local laws and specified regulatory powers under legislation, and to provide for miscellaneous administrative matters.

Topics covered include:

  • Prescribed activities
  • Approval requirements for prescribed activities
  • Enforcement of the local laws and authorised persons
  • Legal proceedings
  • Approval and review processes
  • Review and repeal processes
  • Dealing with abandoned goods and seized or impounded goods

Fraser Coast Regional Council, by resolution dated the 25 January 2023, made Administration (Amendment) Subordinate Local Law (No.1) 2022 (the amending subordinate local law). The amending subordinate local law commenced on 3 February 2023  and expires on 31 December 2027.

For ease of viewing, the effect of the amending subordinate local law can be seen in the extract of Schedule 8 with tracked changes.
