EXPLANATORY NOTE

Most provisions of the Local Government Act 1919 were repealed in 1993, when the Local Government Act 1993 was enacted.

Among the provisions that were not repealed were section 510 (which empowers local councils to regulate advertisements and structures used or to be used for the display of advertisements) and section 513 (1) (q) (which empowers the Governor to make ordinances regulating those advertisements and structures). Ordinance No. 55 (which regulated outdoor advertising) was also not repealed in 1993, but lapsed on 1 September 1995 under the Subordinate Legislation Act 1989.

1995—No. 592

The object of this Proclamation is to commence the provision of the Local Government (Consequential Provisions) Act 1993 which repeals sections 510 and 513 (1) (q) of the Local Government Act 1919.

As a result of the repeal of those sections (and of Ordinance No. 55) outdoor

advertising will no longer be regulated under the Local Government Act 1919.
