• Why do we need by-laws?

  We put by-laws in place to help improve everyone’s enjoyment of our parks and open spaces.  Sometimes parks and open spaces are used for activities that are unacceptable. For example, an activity might cause distress or even injury to other users, or damage council or personal property.  The by-laws allow us to monitor such activity and if necessary prevent it altogether.
