Bylaws are local legislation enforceable by the Council, and other nominated
agencies such as the Police, that have been developed by the Council in
consultation with the community. The Hauraki District Council bylaws intend to
provide laws applicable only to Hauraki District that in general protect the
public from nuisance; protect, promote and maintain public health and safety;
and minimize the potential for offensive behaviour in public places.
As required by the Local Government Act 2002, Council must review all
existing bylaws by the 1st July 2008. The reviewing of these bylaws has
now been completed and subsequent adoption is indicated below.
