Bylaws are local legislation enforceable by the Council staff and other nominated agencies.

In 2008 most of Council’s Bylaws were reviewed and combined into one document to form a Consolidated Bylaw. Since then, several of these bylaws have been reviewed and standalone bylaws created.  

The Consolidated Bylaw is broken up into the following sections: 

• Introductory Bylaw 2020 (pdf, 109.49kb)
• Land Transport Bylaw 2008 (Amended 2022)
• Wastewater Bylaw 2008 (Amended 2019) (pdf, 320kb)
