The Cassowary Coast region's current local laws and subordinate local laws came into effect on 1 October 2022. The Notice of Making of Local Laws can be viewed here.
Local laws cover a wide range of issues and activities ranging from how people can utilise parks and reserves, car parking, advertising signage and outdoor dining to how we keep and control our animals, overgrown allotments, pests and weeds, and nuisances such as noise and dust.
Local laws have been developed in accordance with the Queensland Government's Local Government Act 2009.
More information about local laws can be found on the Queensland Local Laws database.
