Local laws are rules that help local governments manage activities within their community. They are a form of legislation created under the Local Government Act 1995.
Whenever a local law is proposed, amended, or reviewed, we invite the community to provide feedback for consideration in the rules that can affect daily life in our local area.
The Department of Local Government, Industry Regulation and Safety is progressing standard meeting procedures regulations to create uniform requirements and replace exisiting meeting procedures local laws for all governments. These reforms are expected to be implemented in 2027-28.
However, the Local Government Act 1995 requires that the City undertake a review of the City of Stirling Meeting Procedures Local Law 2021. This document is available under Consultation documents.
From 23 July to 4 September 2026, the City is inviting submissions on the City's Meeting Procedures Local Law 2021 and whether it requires amendment, repeal or to stay the same.
The City is required to make a local law in accordance with a statutory process detailed in the Local Government Act 1995.
Yes. Whenever Council proposes to create, amend or review a local law, the City must advertise it for minimum legal periods. This ensures the community can contribute and be part of the local law-making process.
Feedback is encouraged to be made through the online submission form linked on this webpage during the consultation period. More detailed submissions can also be made in writing to the City’s Chief Executive Officer and emailed to corporate.compliance@stirling.wa.gov.au.
All submissions are reviewed by the City and included in a report to Council. Council will then decide whether to make the local law as advertised or with minor amendments. If significant changes are required, the City may need to restart the local law‑making process.
