This legislation makes several amendments to the Local Government (Rating) Act, to the Local Electoral Act, and to the Local Government Act, which are set out in the bill. I'm not going to go through every one. Some of them are practical and sensible. Jan Logie, the previous speaker, mentioned a few of them. Timing milestones, which are set in statute for by-elections, have been given greater flexibility for carrying out their by-elections. There is one current by-election currently under way. There will be allowance to fill extraordinary vacancies on councils as they arise from time to time.
