Shire of Denmark Signs Local Law 1999
Delegated Legislation Joint Committee (1987 - 2001)· 22 September 1999general_report
The WA Delegated Legislation Joint Committee reviewed the Shire of Denmark Signs Local Law 1999, finding it largely unnecessary and potentially unenforceable due to conflicts with existing Town Planning Schemes and potential constitutional issues regarding the prohibition of electoral signs. The Committee would have recommended disallowance had the law not already been disallowed by prorogation of Parliament.
