LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT 1993 - SECT 164

Local policy not to be more onerous than this Act or the regulations

164 Local policy not to be more onerous than this Act or the regulations

(1) If a criterion is prescribed by this Act or the regulations in relation to--
(a) a specified aspect of an activity that may be carried out only with the prior approval of the council, or
(b) a specified aspect of anything for which an order may be given under Part 2,
a local policy adopted under this Part by a council, to the extent to which its provisions impose a more onerous criterion in relation to the specified aspect, is void.
(2) However, for the purposes of this section, the imposition of a criterion in a local policy in relation to a specified aspect, does not, in the absence of the prescription by this Act or the regulations of a criterion in relation to that aspect, constitute a more onerous criterion.
