Community Local Laws

Community Local Law governs how the Council protects the community’s peace and order, safety, public health, assets, amenity, roads and many other aspects of living in Benalla Rural City. 

Community Local Laws are designed to ensure the actions of an individual or group don’t have a negative impact on the community as a whole.
