Casey Community Local Law 2023
The Casey Community Local Law 2023 aims to:
- provide for the peace, order and good government of the municipality
- provide an environment free from hazards so our residents can enjoy a good quality of life
- prevent nuisances that may affect the enjoyment of life within the community. It also prevents impacts on the health, safety and welfare of our residents
Council aims to achieve these objectives by:
- regulating dangerous, unsafe or detrimental activities of people within the community
- providing safety standards and conditions for activities to protect people within the community
Building and Works Code of Practice
The Building and Works Code of Practice (the Code) has been developed as a tool to manage the effects of building development within the City of Casey.
The Code establishes requirements for the protection of the public and Council assets adjoining building sites.
Whilst Council encourages appropriate construction, public and environmental protection are of paramount importance.
Unsafe building practices are a cause of great concern to the community and Council. Residents who live near building sites often endure significant inconvenience and loss of amenity due to the conditions which prevail.
A person in charge of a building site or a works site for which a building permit or works permit has been issued must comply with the requirements in the Building and Works Code of Practice.
