Bill Number - 14
Introduced in the House of Assembly
Bill TitleLocal Government (Public Health Emergency) AmendmentBill Number17 17A
Introduced in theHouse of Assemblyon24/03/2020
Precis

This Bill amends the Local Government Act 1999 and allows the Minister to make a notice that varies or suspends the operation of any provision of the Act, during a public health emergency, to allow Local Councils to continue to operate and make critical decisions.

Notwithstanding the wide-ranging power that this Bill provides the Minister, it also includes a range of critical restraints, including allowing for notices to be disallowed by Parliament, to ensure that it strikes a balance between assisting councils and ensuring that this power is used appropriately.
