47. Local laws and local planning schemes, Governor may revoke or amend

(1) Where any local law has been or is made by a local government under this Act or the Local Government Act 1995, or any local planning scheme has been or is made under the Planning and Development Act 2005, or the Swan Valley Planning Scheme has been or is made under the Swan Valley Planning Act 2020, and that local law or scheme, or any provision of such a local law or scheme, is in the opinion of the Governor repugnant to or inconsistent with the provisions of this Act the Governor may by notice published in the Government Gazette revoke or amend that local law or scheme, or the relevant provision thereof, in so far as it is so repugnant or inconsistent and effect shall be given to any such revocation or amendment but without affecting the validity, or curing the invalidity, of any thing done, or of the omission of any thing, in the meantime.

(2) The Minister shall cause a copy of any notice published under this section to be laid before each House of Parliament within 6 sitting days of that House next following the publication, and if either House of Parliament passes a resolution of which notice has been given within the first 14 sitting days of that House after the copy of a notice under this section has been laid before that House that the notice be disallowed, the notice thereupon ceases to have effect, but the disallowance of the notice does not affect or invalidate anything done in good faith before the passing of the resolution.
