Section 3.16 the Local Government Act 1995 requires that all local laws must be reviewed within a 15-year period after their commencement to determine if they should remain unchanged, be repealed, or amended. The 15-year period is taken to be from either when the local law commenced or when the last review of the local law was completed.

As part of the Local Government reforms and implementation of the Local Government Amendment Act 2024, the Shire of Cunderdin is now required to review all local laws within a two-year period, prior to 7 December 2026, unless a review occurred within the last 8 years.

At the Ordinary Meeting of Council on 17 June 2026, Council approved to review the Shire of Cunderdin’s local laws by a suitable timeframe. The following laws are being reviewed and are open for public comment:

A copy of the local laws are available on the Shire’s website (Local Laws » Shire of Cunderdin) or can be viewed at the Shire Administration Office, 37 Lundy Avenue, Cunderdin.

The outcomes of the review will be presented to Council with recommendations on any amendments to the Shire’s local laws, which may be required. This process will confirm the ‘purpose’ and ‘effect’ of each local law and include a ‘proposed draft’ local law, which will then be advertised for a statutory period of 42 days to allow for any public comments, and together with a copy of the ‘proposed draft’ local law this will be forwarded to the relevant Ministers.

The Shire of Cunderdin invites public submissions. Your feedback will be reviewed and presented to Council when considering if these local laws are to remain unchanged, repealed or amended.

Submissions can be submitted:

• By Mail - PO Box 100, Cunderdin WA 6407
• In Person - Shire Administration Office, 37 Lundy Avenue, Cunderdin WA 6407
• By email – ceo@cunderdin.wa.gov.au
• Online via the submission form

Submissions close at 4pm AWST on Friday, 31 July 2026.
