New Local laws

Uniform local laws cover Toowoomba Regional Council operations

Local laws covering council policies including car parking, keeping of animals, swimming pools and caravan park regulations came into force on January 1 this year.
Toowoomba Regional Council now has five local laws and 22 subordinate local laws.
Public submissions informed the streamlining of local laws inherited from the eight former councils.

In March 2008, Toowoomba Regional Council inherited 311 local laws and subordinate local laws. These included 185 model local laws and 126 subordinate local laws.
The process removed inefficiencies, inconsistencies and duplication of local laws across the region. 

The new local laws cover administrative and regulatory procedure and functions which include displaying signs, food hygiene, temporary accommodation facilities, camping grounds, cemeteries, temporary entertainment events, parking regulations, animal management and environmental management.

An additional local law administers council aerodrome operations.
