Local Government (Water Services) Act 2025

Miscellaneous provisions - Water services bylaws

267: Power to make water services bylaws does not limit other powers

You could also call this:

"Making water rules doesn't stop councils from making other rules"

Illustration for Local Government (Water Services) Act 2025

The power for a territorial authority to make a water services bylaw under this Act does not stop them from making a bylaw under another Act. You can think of it like a territorial authority having many different tools to make rules, and using one tool does not prevent them from using another. If a territorial authority wants to make a bylaw under a different Act, such as the LGA 2002, they can still do so.
