Responsibilities of territorial authorities in relation to waste management and minimisation - Bylaws

58: Review of bylaws

You could also call this:

"Checking and updating local rules every 10 years"

Illustration for Waste Minimisation Act 2008

If you are a territorial authority, you must review a bylaw you made under section 56 within 10 years of making it. You must then review it again every 10 years after that. You also need to review a bylaw that section 64 applies to, and you must do this by 1 July 2012, then every 10 years after that. When you are reviewing bylaws, you must follow sections 160 and 160A of the Local Government Act 2002, and apply them in a way that makes sense for your situation.
