Hi All,
I'm a first time poster to this forum so forgive me if this is in the wrong area.
I'm from Brisbane, I got 2 questions regarding Bills.
I read an article recently regarding cracking down on student accommodation.
"At present, Brisbane City Council cannot enter a property it suspects of housing more than five unrelated people - which is over crowded under the law - without the presence of Queensland Fire and Rescue Service.
The Bill had been referred to the Transport Housing and Local Government Committee for consideration.
The bill, if passed, could be used to draft local laws allowing the council right of entry power."
What exactly does this mean? What is local laws?
If the bill is passed does that mean Brisbane City council can search houses?
Does anyone think this is a bit drastic/intrusive?
Will such a bill get passed?
