“Laws that give jobs and powers to people who help run your local area”

This schedule lists the different laws that give responsibilities, powers, and duties to the Minister of Local Government and the Secretary for Local Government. These laws cover various areas that affect your local community.

The list includes laws about things like keeping your neighbourhood clean (Litter Act), how local elections work (Local Electoral Act), and how your local council operates (Local Government Act). It also covers rules about land drainage, which is important for managing water in your area.

There are other laws mentioned too, such as ones about public land leases and rates rebates. These laws all work together to help manage different aspects of your local area and community.
