Ideas

Share your ideas on how our local laws can be clearer, fairer, and more effective for everyone.

Here some of the things we look forward to hearing your thoughts on:

What kind of activities should be covered in our local laws?

This could include things like open-air burning, camping, animal ownership, shipping containers, or how public spaces and footpaths are used. Your ideas will help us focus on what matters most.

Why should these activities be regulated?

Is it about safety, protecting neighbours, preserving shared spaces, or looking after the environment? What does a good outcome look like for you?

How should Council regulate these activities?

Should there be a permit, a time limit, or just some clear guidance? Should some things be allowed in rural areas but not in towns residential areas? Local laws work best when they’re practical, clear, and fair. We want your help to get the balance right.

What's working and what's not?

This is your opportunity to tell us what’s confusing, frustrating, unnecessary or missing. Whether you’re a resident, business owner or visitor, we want to make sure local laws are easier to understand, easier to follow, and make sense for everyday life in Mansfield Shire.

But don't stop there! We welcome any feedback you have that can help improve how local laws work in our shire.
