Local Law review

We recently reviewed Hobsons Bay's Local Law to find areas of improvement which would help us to work more effectively, efficiently and transparently.

Our current Local Law is set to expire in September 2025. During our review, we identified approximately seven possible changes which we believe will improve its effectiveness and efficiency, and will help City of Hobsons Bay Compliance Officers carry out their work.
