Why We Have Local Laws

Council is vested with a variety of specific powers to control, regulate, licence or prevent and prohibit the matters deemed relevant to a local government under the Local Government Act.

These powers are administered through Local Laws adopted by Council and are reviewed, consulted on and approved by the State Government through the Department of Local Government and Planning.   Subordinate Local Laws are designed specifically to meet the needs of the Diamantina Shire area.

You can view Diamantina Shires Local and Subordinate Local Laws by visiting the Local Laws Database on the Local Government and Planning website.
