52 . Revocation of local laws
(1) Where any local
law has been or is made by a local government, whether under the authority or
purported authority of this Act, the repealed Acts, the
Local Government Act 1995 , the Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1911 ,
the Planning and Development Act 2005 , or any other Act, and in relation to
any matter affecting dogs or the keeping of dogs that local law, or the manner
in which that local law is administered, is in the opinion of the Governor
unduly oppressive, repugnant to or inconsistent with the provisions of this
Act the Governor may by notice published in the Gazette revoke that local law
or any part thereof in relation to any such matter and effect shall be given
to any such revocation but without affecting the validity, or curing the
invalidity, of any thing done, or of the omission of any thing, in the
mean-time.
(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.
