Local Government Act
Local Government Act (with its variations) is a stock short title used for legislation in Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Ireland and the United Kingdom, relating to local government. The Bill for an Act with this short title may have been known as a Local Government Bill during its passage through Parliament. Local Government Acts may be a generic name either for legislation bearing that short title or for all legislation which relates to local government. List. Australia. Victoria.
