The City has drafted a new Health Local Law 2026 to replace the current Health Local Law 1996, and we’re inviting the community to take a look and share their thoughts.

The updated law aims to streamline processes by removing the need for City approval in some situations, clearing out outdated clauses, and adding new measures to better manage refuse on building sites and private properties. It also introduces provisions for stormwater disposal and mechanical wash‑down bay wastewater, along with new penalty provisions to help resolve non‑compliance more effectively.

Comment is open until 10 April 2026, and we’d love to hear your thoughts via the form below.
