Local Government Regulations Amendment Regulations 2024131.Hon Dr Brian Walkerto theminister
representing the Minister for Local Government:I refer the minister
to the consultation exercise currently underway for the Local Government
Regulations Amendment Regulations 2024, scheduled to conclude next week. I have
been approached by a number of local governments in recent weeks complaining
that the time for consideration of any concerns they might have is woefully
short, given that the regulations will come into force in early July.Will
the minister delay the implementation of the regulations to allow her
department to properly digest and implement feedback from local governments and
the Western Australian Local Government Association, thus confirming that the
consultation exercise itself is meaningful?
