Local Laws

The Local Government Act 1995 enables Western Australian local governments to make local laws considered necessary for the good government of their districts.

Local laws can only be made when authorised by the Local Government Act 1995 (the Act) or other written laws but cannot be inconsistent with any State or federal law.

Local government laws typically cover areas such as car parking, activities on thoroughfares, public places and council and committee meetings.

When a local law is made by a council, it is submitted to Parliament. If the Parliament determine that the local law is inappropriate, the Parliament can disallow the local law meaning it ceases to have effect.
