Judith Lawrence | 1/13/3-01 | #5190467

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that all powers, referred to in the document titled “Register of Delegations - Council to CEO” attached to the report, are hereby delegated by Council to the Chief Executive Officer of Cairns Regional Council pursuant to section 259 of the Local Government Act 2009.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Local Government Association of Queensland Inc (LGAQ) has advised that as of August 2016 changes of substance were made to the following existing registers:

Biosecurity Act 2014

Liquor Act 1992

The following new registers have been created:

Planning Act 2016

Economic Development Act 2012

Mining and Quarrying Safety & Health Act 1999

Mining and Quarry Safety & Health Regulation 2001

Stock Route Management Act 2002.

On 1 July 2016, The Biosecurity Act 2014 replaced the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management). Under the Biosecurity Act there was no significant change for Council in pest management.

However this new act also resulted in a new name for the stock route legislation; the Stock Route Management Act (previously the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) 2002. The Stock Route Management Act does not contain any new elements but retains existing legislation governing the management of Queensland’s stock routes.
