Have Your Say: Council By-Laws Review
We invite community feedback on our updated Council By-Laws. Covering everything from pets and playgrounds to waste, signage, and the use of Council land and roads, these by-laws help us create a safe, inclusive, and well-governed community.
What Are By-Laws?
By-laws are local regulations designed to ensure good governance and address issues in our area. They help Council maintain convenient, safe, and enjoyable spaces for everyone.
Under Section 246 of the Local Government Act 1999 (SA), Council is required to review and formally adopt its by-laws every seven years. Our recent review has resulted in some proposed updates which are primarily minor changes for legislative, interpretive, or grammatical clarity. Importantly, no new by-laws have been created.
The Proposed By-Laws
The District Council of Streaky Bay is seeking feedback on the following draft by-laws:
- By-Law No. 1 – Permits and Penalties
- By-Law No. 2 – Moveable Signs
- By-Law No. 3 – Roads
- By-Law No. 4 – Local Government Land
- By-Law No. 5 – Dogs
- By-Law No. 6 – Cats
You can also review hard copies of the proposed by-laws at the District Council of Streaky Bay Office, located at 29 Alfred Terrace, Streaky Bay, SA 5680.
Share Your Thoughts
Before these by-laws are formally adopted, we encourage you to provide feedback. The public consultation period will run from Monday, 13 January 2025, to 5:00 PM, Monday, 3 February 2025.
