What’s this about?
The Office of Local Government (OLG) is undertaking a statutory review of the Local Government (General) Regulation 2021 (LG Regulation).
The Local Government Act 1993 is supported by the LG Regulation which will be automatically repealed on 1 September 2026 unless remade before then.
OLG will complete the review in stages and is proposing to split the LG Regulation into three stand-alone instruments being:
- Local Government (Elections) Regulation
- Local Government (Council Governance and Operations) Regulation, and
- Local Government (Approvals) Regulation.
The transfer of the election provisions of the LG Regulation into a standalone elections regulation is the first step in the statutory review and aims to ensure the continued efficiency and effectiveness of local government elections.
OLG is seeking feedback from councils, other stakeholders and the wider community on the proposed regulatory framework outlined in the Regulatory Impact Statement.
