Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

A regional council is a group of people who help make decisions for a region. You might wonder who gets to be part of this group. The law used to say who could be a member of a regional council, but this part of the law is no longer in effect. It was repealed on 1 November 1989 by section 6(1) of the Local Government Amendment Act (No 2) 1989.
