Public notices
A public notice is a statutory mechanism prescribed under the Western Australian Local Government Act 1995. There are a variety of matters for which the City must publish a public notice, including for the review of local laws, disposal of property, and local government elections, amongst others.
Some matters require the City simply to advertise, and some matters require the City to accept submissions from the public. Where submissions from the public are sought, the City is also guided by its Community Consultation Council Policy.
The timeframes for delivering public notices are prescribed under the Act and differ depending on the matter at hand.
For matters not prescribed under the Act, the City uses the most appropriate communication methodology to reach the stakeholder(s) identified. For upcoming public works, the City is guided by its Notification of Public Works Council Policy.
