Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

A community is set up in a certain way according to the law. You can find out more about how this used to work by looking at the old rules. The rules about setting up communities were repealed, which means they were cancelled, on 1 November 1989, by section 6(1) of the Local Government Amendment Act (No 2) 1989.
