Latest Local Law Review News
In preparing for the implementation of the new planning scheme, a consistency review was completed to see what, if any, key changes may need to be made to council’s local laws to ensure that regulatory functions are not impacted. You can read about this review, its progress and timeline on council’s Shape Your Ipswich
Strategic Regulation Project
Council have identified the need to undertake a comprehensive review of our current local laws. With this review comes the opportunity to take a holistic view of regulation and how, as a council and a city, we can truly strive for the community vision of a city of opportunity for all. The Strategic Regulation Project will take place between January 2025 to early 2027, and involves community consultation at certain points within 3 key steps:
- Step 1 involves updating our Compliance and Enforcement Policy to be more holistic on what council’s position on regulation is.
- Step 2 involves council focusing internally to update our process for making local laws ensuring a more contemporary approach.
- Step 3 involves creating a new suite of local laws to replace our existing ones.
