From trees to rubbish to parking to pets, Bayside’s Local Law No. 2 (Neighbourhood Amenity) is designed to empower Council to respond to local issues and protect public amenity, health and safety within the municipality.

Council is calling for community feedback on the current Local Law No. 2 (Parts 5 to 9), as well as eight new local law ideas that have been raised by some residents, including through petitions to Council. We are not seeking community feedback on enforcement matters, including patrols or fines, or the policies and processes which sit underneath the local law.

The community feedback from this initial consultation will measure the level of support for any new ideas, and help Council consider emerging issues and ensure that Local Law No. 2 remains comprehensive.

New ideas for Local Law No. 2 will only be considered for inclusion in the draft revised Local Law No. 2 if they receive strong community support. Council will conduct further consultation on the draft revised Local Law No. 2 in early 2021.

Local Law No. 2 is only reviewed every 10 years, so this consultation is an important opportunity have your say on the issues that you want Council to enforce within the municipality.

Before completing the survey, we recommend reviewing project information on the main project page.
