Public Notices

What Are Public Notices?

Public notices are official announcements that inform the community about important council decisions, proposals, and legal requirements. They ensure transparency and give residents the opportunity to stay informed and, where applicable, provide feedback.

Why Are They Important?

Publishing public notices is a legal requirement under the Local Government Act 2020 and other legislation. They help maintain accountability and allow community participation in matters that may affect local laws, planning, and council operations.
