In 2005, the Tasmanian government used this order to repeal (cancel) 17 different by-laws made by various local councils between 1997 and 2003. All of these by-laws covered the same thing: how council meetings should be run (meeting procedures). The order took effect on 1 July 2005. This was likely done to tidy up the law books and possibly replace these scattered local rules with a single, consistent set of meeting rules for all Tasmanian councils."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/local-government-repeal-of-by-laws-order-2005","history":"/api/acts/local-government-repeal-of-by-laws-order-2005/history","analysis":"/api/acts/local-government-repeal-of-by-laws-order-2005/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/local-government-repeal-of-by-laws-order-2005/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/local-government-repeal-of-by-laws-order-2005/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/local-government-repeal-of-by-laws-order-2005/documents"}}
