Council reviewed its six By-laws in 2022, which took effect 1 January 2023.
During the review, the Parliament of South Australia via its Legislative Review Council (LRC) evaluated and certified these six by-laws, whilst recommending that Council consider amendments to exclude gender specific language and include ‘reasonable’ direction of authorised officers.
As a By-law can only be ‘changed’ by another By-law (an amending By-law), Council agreed to adopt By-law 7 - Amendment By-law to address the LRC recommendations.
The expiation fee payable for offences against By-laws to be fixed at $312.50.
