Draft Order Making Policy
In accordance with Section 259 of the Local Government Act 1999, (the Act) the Municipal Council of Roxby Downs invited written submissions from the community in relation to the Draft Order Making Policy. The consultation ran for a period of three weeks from 23 May to 14 June 2019.
The policy allows Council to facilitate a safe and healthy environment, improve the amenity of the locality and is generally for the good governance of the district. Instead of using by-laws to regulate activity on private land, the Local Government Act 1999 provides councils with the power to make specified orders to target particular cases of local nuisance when they arise. Examples include:
- Unsightly condition of property,
- Hazards on lands adjoining a public place,
- Animals that may cause a nuisance or hazard (includes birds and insects) and
- Inappropriate use of a vehicle.
No submissions were received and the Order Making Policy was adopted by Council at its meeting of 26 June 2019.

A notice was published in the Roxby Chronicle on 29 May 2019 and on Council’s Facebook page and website. No submissions were received.
