Have your say on Local Laws that govern the region

Residents have their chance to have their say on proposed changes to Local Laws that govern a wide range of activities across the region, from abandoned vehicles to feeding wildlife, the use of cultural fires and governing what can go in your wheelie bin.

Council has proposed amendments to 12 of its Local Laws and introduced a new Local Law specifically on waste management.

Feedback is a key component of the Local Laws review process and ensures regulations are keeping pace with community expectations.

The community can review the changes on the Have Your Say section of Council’s website or in person at a Council’s Spence Street Customer Service Centre or a Cairns Libraries branch.

Feeback can be provided by:

• Emailing to locallawsreview@cairns.qld.gov.au
• Post, addressed to Local Laws Review, PO Box 359, Cairns, QLD, 4870

Consultation opened today and closes at 4pm on Wednesday 13 September.
