Bylaws

Bylaws  are laws set by local authorities for their region. These pages outline the laws in Palmerston North for things that Council is responsible for enforcing.

 

Alcohol

Get to know the rules about consumption of alcohol in the city.

Animal bylaws

They come in all shapes and sizes, and it's important to know the rules around rearing and caring for our dogs and other animals.

Cemeteries and crematorium bylaw

Understand how Palmerston North City Council facilitates the cemeteries and crematoriums in our care.

Speed limits

Speed limits are an integral part of keeping our roads safe for all road users.

Traffic and parking

Navigating our city should be easy and efficient, so it's important that everyone understands the parking rules.

Use of public places

There are so many great spaces around our city, but it's important that everyone understands the rules around public places so that they're available for all to enjoy safely.

Waste management and minimisation

Waste management is a big job for any city, but together we can minimise our waste and ensure that it's collected and disposed of safely.

Water bylaws

Water is a vital part of our city story so it's important that we protect and conserve it.
