It makes changes to the **Local Government (Burnie City Council) Order 2002** — the legal document that establishes and governs Burnie City Council in Tasmania.\n\n**Who it affects**\n\n- **Burnie City Council** — the local council for Burnie, Tasmania\n- **Residents and ratepayers of Burnie** — though any practical effects would depend on what specific amendments were made to the Principal Order (the details of which aren't shown in this document)\n\n**Why it matters**\n\nThis is a **machinery amendment** — a routine legal update. The document itself doesn't spell out what actually changed (clauses 4 and 5 simply note that amendments have been \"incorporated into the authorised version\" of the 2002 Order). This is common practice where the amendment instrument serves as the legal authority for changes, but the substantive text lives in the consolidated (updated) version of the original order.\n\nIn practical terms: something about how Burnie City Council operates was tweaked in late 2004, and this document is the official record that those tweaks were legally made."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/local-government-burnie-city-council-amendment-order-2004","history":"/api/acts/local-government-burnie-city-council-amendment-order-2004/history","analysis":"/api/acts/local-government-burnie-city-council-amendment-order-2004/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/local-government-burnie-city-council-amendment-order-2004/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/local-government-burnie-city-council-amendment-order-2004/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/local-government-burnie-city-council-amendment-order-2004/documents"}}
