Policies & Guidelines
Over the Southern Downs Regional Council's transition period, council policies are being established for the new region. During this time the policies of the previous councils still stand until the Southern Downs Regional Council adopts a policy on the same matter, ie Southern Downs Regional Council policies supersede the policies of the previous councils. Please contact your previous shire council office to confirm the status of your previous council's policies.
