Council by-laws

A by-law is a law made by a council. By-laws must relate to the functions and powers of councils as established under the Local Government Act 1993 and can only apply to the municipal area of the council that has made the by-law.

Any enquiries regarding the operation of a by-law should be addressed to the relevant council.

The power to make by-laws has been delegated to councils by the Tasmanian Parliament, which has prescribed a detailed process for making of by-laws (See Part 11 of Local Government Act 1993 Sections 145 to 174).

The procedure for making a by-law requires a draft of the by-law and an approved regulatory impact statement to be released for public comment. Additional information on the making of by-laws can be found on this website, and you may contact the Local Government Division with any further inquiries.
