[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 168911, member: 4485"] These "council rules" are more than likely council bylaws which councils are allowed to make & enforce under the Local Government Act. If they put in a law that "it's illegal to wear pink pants after noon on Sundays" then it is enforceable. Ridiculous as it sounds Google it :lol: mfdes - if it's not written in to legislation then its most likely not illegal in my non legal opinion. I would be wary of any sections of an Act/Regulation or other Acts/Regulations that may give the regulating or controlling body the powers to make &/or enforce bylaws etc. like councils can. I know NSW Common Land legislation does give some scope to Common Lands Trusts to forbid/not allow certain activities on the common land/s under their control. Without going through all the legislation, Acts, Regulations etc. etc. I have no doubt there would be other examples. I really think most regulators/controlling bodies would be acting within the laws or would be seen as acting within the intent of it if things come to push/shove. [/QUOTE]
