Local Government Act 2009

A local government must not make a local law that establishes an alternative development process.

An alternative development process is a process that is similar to or duplicates all or part of the development assessment process under the Planning Act.

However, if a local law already contains a provision that establishes an alternative development process, the council may amend or repeal the provision at any time.

A local law has no effect to the extent that it is contrary to this section.

This section does not apply to a local government’s local law about any of the following matters unless the matter is covered by the local government’s planning scheme, the Planning Act or another instrument made under that Act—

advertising devices;

gates and grids;

roadside dining.
