Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

If you look at a law called the Local Government Act 1974, you will find a part that was called section 95. This section was about what happens when the same person is elected to be both the mayor and a member of a council. You can find out more about the law that changed this by looking at the Local Government Amendment Act (No 2) 1989. This change happened on 1 November 1989, and it meant that section 95 was no longer part of the law.
