Illustration for Local Government Act 2002

This Part of the law tells you about specific rules for local authorities and other people. It says they have to do certain things, like check some sanitary services and figure out why they are doing that check. It also says they have some restrictions on what they can do with parks, reserves, and special properties.

You will find rules about what local authorities can and cannot do with these properties, including how to protect parks and reserves. If a local authority provides a public library, you must be able to get free membership if you live in that area. The law sets out these rules to guide local authorities and other people on what they can and cannot do.
