HAVE YOUR SAY

Local Law Review

The Local Law covers a range of diverse topics from unsightly land, fire safety, animals, roadside, reserves and footpath trading to planting on nature strips and building sites.

It empowers Council to respond to local issues and protect public and private space as well as the community’s health and safety.

Under the Local Government Act we are required to review our Local Law every 10 years and this process is now underway.

You are invited to help shape our local laws and you can find out more and get involved via the following ways:

  • Online: www.engage.cgoldshire.vic.gov.au/your-local-law
  • Attend an in-person pop-up information session
  • Collect a hard copy survey from our Customer Service Centre, 22 Nolan Street or Maryborough Regional Library
  • Request to have our Local Laws team contact you to discuss further –
