Local Government Official Information and Meetings Amendment Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill seeks to provide clarity and certainty for local authorities on provisions of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987, including changes to improve natural hazard information provided in land information memoranda, and aligning withholding and certification processes with the Official Information Act 1982.
