City of Playford By-laws
The Council has the ability to make By-laws under the Local Government Act 1999 which are within the contemplation of the Act (or another act), or that relate to a matter in relation to which the making of By-laws is authorised by the Regulations (or another Act). Essentially, By-Laws are local laws established by South Australia Councils to deal with issues specific to the relevant council area.

In some instances By-laws can also be made in accordance with other legislation.
