Victorian councils have the broad power to make local laws for or with respect to any act, matter or thing in respect of which the council has a function or power under the Local Government Act 2020 or any other Act.
Wellington Shire Council currently has two local laws: Local Law No. 1 – Processes of Municipal Government and Community Local Law 2021.
Local Law No. 1 is due to sunset (in other words, expire) on 20 October 2024 – ten years after the day the local law came into operation. A local law is required to create offences for non-compliance with Council’s Governance Rules.
Prohibit unauthorised use of the common seal or any device resembling the common seal and determine offences and associated penalties;
Determine offences and associated penalties relating to conduct at Council Meetings;
Provide for the administration and exercise of Council powers and functions; and
Revoke any redundant Local Laws.
A copy of the proposed Governance Local Law 2024 can be found in the 'Key Documents' tab or may be inspected at Wellington Shire Council at 18 Desailly Street, Sale.
A Community Impact Statement has also been developed to inform the community about the proposed Local Law and to assist any members of the public who may wish to participate in the community engagement process. This can be found in the 'Key Documents' tab under Community Impact Statement.
The community engagement process utilised for the proposed Governance Local Law 2024 is facilitated here on Your Wellington Your Say, Council’s online community engagement and communication tool.
