              Policy Register
              The District Council is created by statute and its powers, although extensive, are limited to those provided by legislation.
               

              Need for Policy

              Even though councils are restricted to only being able to do what the law says they can, not everything that they do is covered precisely by statute.

              There will also be times when legislation calls for local policy to be developed. 

              Water Restrictions Policy

              On 15 December 2011, the Water Restrictions Policy was updated to include the Fairton water supply.

              Dog Control Policy

              The 2010 Dog Control Policy has been adopted.

              Policy Documents

              Policy  Documents have been organised under 3 main groupings:

              Environmental Services

              Finance & Community Services 

              Operations

              pdf format copies  can be downloaded from the right hand side of this page.
