Local Laws Update

The City of Stonnington is reviewing the Stonnington General Local Law, and wants you to be involved.

While the existing General Local Law is current and is not due to sunset until July 2028, we are keen to introduce enhancements that will help us to carry out work more effectively, efficiently and transparently.

The proposed enhancements include:

  • Aligning the Local Law with new requirements of the Local Government Act 2020

  • Introducing a new permit appeals process in the interest of continuous improvement and greater transparency

  • Reviewing our Footpath Trading Policy

There are approximately 20 proposed changes and we are keen to hear your thoughts.

Read about the changes and have your say via an online survey by Sunday 7 May 2023.
