Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

The council can set up special funds. You might wonder what this means, but the law about this was actually repealed. This means it is no longer in force, and it was repealed on 1 July 1990 by the Local Government Amendment Act (No 2) 1989, which you can find more information about on the legislation website. The council used to be able to do this, but now they cannot.
