Have your bylaw say
In 2020, Kaipara District Council asked the public for feedback on the Consolidated General Bylaw (CGB). The CGB contains 10 different bylaw topics (parts). Feedback received during that review told the council the CGB was hard to use, and relevant information was difficult to access in its current format. As a result of this feedback, the council is reviewing each part with the aim to split the CGB into individual bylaws.
As part of this process, part five (advertising signs) and part seven (cemeteries and crematoria) are the next parts that are proposed to be taken out of the CGB and made into individual bylaws.
The council is asking the public for feedback on the proposed new bylaws, and associated amendments to the CGB. Feedback is open until November 2. Read the proposed bylaws and have your say at www.kaipara.govt.nz/have-your-say.
