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 and boats.

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 review our by-laws every 7 years to ensure they meet the current needs of our community.

There are some things we cannot create by-laws for, for example, things that are the responsibility of state or federal government.
