The purpose of the Draft Compliance and Enforcement Policy 2024 is to guide Council officers responsible for unlawful activity compliance and enforcement and proactive compliance monitoring and enforcement in a manner that is accountable and transparent, consistent, proportional and timely. The document also assist the community in understanding Council's role in relation to unlawful activity compliance and enforcement.
The NSW Ombudsman’s office encourages councils to have an adopted policy which covers this area and for that policy and any associated procedure to be publicly available.
Unauthorised Building Work: Enforcement & Prosecution Policy 2012 is the current policy document and this will be revoked once the Draft Compliance and Enforcement Policy 2024 is adopted.
Council is exhibiting this draft policy for 28 days to enable our community and businesses affected by the policy to give feedback.
This policy will be on public exhibition from 31 May to 28 June 2024.
