Governor may amend or repeal local laws
49B Governor may amend or repeal local laws
The Governor may make a local law to amend the text of, or repeal, a local law.
Subsection (1) does not include the power to amend a local law to include in it a provision that bears no reasonable relationship to the local law as in force before the amendment.
The Minister is to give a local government notice in writing of any local law that the Governor makes to amend the text of, or repeal, any of the local government’s local laws.
A local law made under this section is to be taken, for all purposes, to be a local law made by the local government which made the local law that is amended or repealed.
Section 3.17 of the Local Government Act 1995 does not apply in relation to local laws made under this Act.
