Have your say - Draft Order Making Policy 2026
Council is seeking community feedback on the proposed review of its Order Making Policy.
The policy outlines how Council may exercise its regulatory powers under the Local Government Act 1999 by issuing orders requiring a person to do, or refrain from doing, certain actions in specific circumstances. It also covers Council's powers relating to private roads and adjoining land.
As part of the policy's regular review cycle, minor updates have been made to improve clarity and ensure alignment with current legislation. These changes do not alter the policy's intent or the processes Council follows when making orders.
Under Section 259 of the Local Government Act 1999, Council is required to undertake public consultation before adopting the revised policy and invites community members to provide feedback on the draft.
Consultation will close December 1, 2026
