Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

There is a part of the Local Government Act 1974 called Minimum rates. You will see it is labelled as section 166. This section was repealed, which means it is no longer part of the law, and this happened on 29 June 1988.

The repeal of section 166 was done by the Rating Powers Act 1988. You can find more information about this in the Rating Powers Act 1988, which is a separate law. This act changed the Local Government Act 1974 by removing section 166.
