When you look at how members are chosen for local government, some factors are considered. You need to think about what basis they will be elected on. A law called the Local Government Act 1974 has a part about this, but the part that talks about factors in determining membership and the basis of election is no longer in use. It was repealed on 25 December 2002 by section 53(d) of the Local Electoral Amendment Act 2002, which you can find more information about on the legislation website.
