Notice is given that, at its meeting held on 30 July 2024, and after an extensive consultation process, Monash City Council (Council) resolved to make a local law titled ‘Community Safety and Amenity Local Law 2024’ (the Local Law). The Local Law will replace the existing Local Law No.3 and will commence operation on 1 February 2025.
Local Laws are regulatory instruments made under the Local Government Act 2020 that enable Councils to fulfil and exercise powers, functions and duties that assist in regulating local issues.
The following information about the Local Law is provided in accordance with section 74(4) of the Local Government Act 2020.
The title of the Local Law is ‘ The Community Safety and Amenity Local Law 2024’.
The objectives and intended effects of the Local Law are: -
- to provide for the peace, order and good governance of the municipal district;
- to promote a physical and social environment free from hazards to health, in which the residents of the municipal district can enjoy a quality of life that meets the general expectations of the community; and
- to prevent and suppress nuisances which may adversely affect the enjoyment of life within the municipal district or the health, safety and welfare of persons within the municipal district,
with the intended effect of:
- regulating and controlling activities of people within the municipal district which may be dangerous, unsafe or detrimental to the quality of life of other people in, or the environment of, the municipal district; and
- providing standards and conditions for specified activities to protect the safety and the welfare of people within, and the environment of, the municipal district.
The Local Law:
- provides for the administration and enforcement of the Local Law and empowers Council and authorised officers to issue permits, Notices to Comply, act in urgent circumstances and impound things; and
- provides for infringement notices to be issued to people whom an authorised officer has reason to believe are guilty of offences.
A copy of the adopted Local Law is available on Council's website, at each of the Council offices located at 3 Atherton Rd, Oakleigh, and 293 Springvale Road, Glen Waverley, and at each of our libraries. You can locate a library branch at Monash libraries.
