General Local Law Review Round 3

At the December 2023 Council Meeting, a second draft of a General Local Law for South Gippsland was endorsed for community feedback.

Our community spoke and we listened. This draft includes feedback from the previous rounds of consultation held during 2023.

Some of the changes include:

• Fixing an excessive vegetation clause to exclude grass or other crops grown for the production of fodder on land greater than 1 acre, which caused significant feedback during the second round of consultation.
• Removing a clause stating bins should be brought in within 24 hours of collection.
• Updating a clause regarding roadside trading, making it clear that while permits are required to display goods for sale in a municipal place/road, they are not required for private property. Permits are required on municipal land to ensure appropriate insurances are in place and there are no safety concerns.

Feedback is open now until Monday 15 January 2024.
