Inspector Local Government
Local government inspectors are responsible for policing
various council by-laws, parking regulations and provisions
contained in the Local Government Act and other legislation
enforced by councils.
Inspectors may perform the following tasks:
- talk to people who are disputing council's actions
- issue notices to cut back or remove plant growth that is
overhanging footpaths and streets, as well as undergrowth
from premises
- issue notices to people found littering
- issue notices to people parking illegally
- issue notices to people in violation of the
environmental protection regulations (e.g. lighting an
incinerator outside specified times or burning illegal
substances such as rubber)
- attend court to give evidence in support of any
prosecutions
- catch stray and unregistered dogs and, if possible,
notify owners
- follow up complaints, conduct interviews and issue
penalty notices to dog owners who are in violation of the
various acts and by-laws.
Duties performed by inspectors vary among councils
according to the geographic location of the local government
area and the inspector's experience and training. For example,
an inspector employed by a coastal council is also likely to
perform duties relating to provisions contained in the Coastal
Protection and Boating Acts. In some councils, inspectors may
perform both traffic and general inspection duties.
Inspectors mainly work outdoors without direct supervision
and may be required to wear a uniform. They may be required to
work some evenings, weekends and public holidays.
