Tips for finding historic ordinances

In each consolidation or reprint:

  1. The ordinances under the Local Government Act are reproduced in numeric order as at the date of the consolidation or reprint.
  2. You will find a table listing all Ordinances at the start of each consolidation.  This is useful for browsing if you are not sure of the number of the Ordinance you need.

Researching amendments

  1. To find out if there are amendments between dates of each consolidation (e.g. 1929 consolidation and 1932 consolidation), request the NSW regulations (N348.944022/3) by year (e.g. 1931).
  2. Search the table and index at the end of each volume under the Local Government Act 1919. You will find the dates of all amendments to each ordinance and the page where these amendments can be found.
