LOCAL LAW #6: CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR AND BEHAVIOR IN PUBLIC PLACES

Pretty much what the title says.

Goes into specific area.

Don't see any thing on how to handle underage drinking which is a big problem. if this one were "nipped in the bud" it would go a long way in preventing problems in the future.

LOCAL LAW #5: STREETS AND ROADS

This local law covers a lot of issues and rules concerning the auxiliary uses of streets and roads and covers many diverse subjects such as:

• Advertising Signs (including real estate)
• Trading from A Road
• Street Parties, Festivals and Processions
• Shopping Trolleys
• Livestock on Roads and Horses On Reservations
• Activities on Footpaths, including Shopping Precinct

Worth a look with maybe some interesting comments to be made where the subject matter is of interest to you.

Again, the "devil is in the details" of the supporting policies.

LOCAL LAW #4: MUNICIPAL LIBRARIES

Deals with Policies and Procedures at Municipality Libraries (just like it says).

Pretty straightforward and to the point.

LOCAL LAW #3: MUNICIPAL PLACES

This particular law deals with the conduct and rules and guidelines for Hire and Use of Public Facilities within the Shire. It also purports to deal with "quality of life" issues and nuisance behaviour.

It deals with Buildings, Swimming Pools and Recreation Centers, Pedestrian Malls, Reserves, Municipal Land, Smoking Issues and many other administrative issues surrounding these subjects.

It is worth a look especially to those who use the Public Facilities covered in this document.

LOCAL LAW #2: ENVIRONMENT

This is a very interesting law and deals with a whole raft of diverse issues that affect us on a day to day basis.

the topics range from dangerous land, junk cars, burning off, animal noise, camping, animals and birds, penalties for infringement, disposal of waste. drainage, open air markets just to touch on a few.

LOCAL LAW #1: COUNCIL

This law deals primarily with the rules under which the council operates, and for the most part is procedural.

However it is worth a look as these rules establish how meetings are conducted and what rights ratepayers have in meetings.

LOCAL LAW REVIEW BY COUNCIL

The council is currently reviewing the local laws for revision and this is your chance to review these laws which directly affect you and have an input. These laws were last reviewed and approved in 2005.

Believe it or not there are only 6 local laws to review.

Local Law # 1: Council

Local Law #2: Environment

Local Law #3: Municipal Places

Local Law #4: Municipal Libraries

Local Law #5: Streets and roads

Local Law #6: Consumption of Liquor and Behaviour in Public Places

Whilst the Local law may look rather simple on the surface, it is in the policies supporting these laws where you will find the "devil in the details": So, it is best to review specific policies to see what is really going on.

I will be posting a section on each local law as i review them and you can add your comments. i will compile these comments and provide them to council at the appropriate time during the review process.
