Advertisements and public meetings were also required.
Asked when these by-laws were expected to come into effect, Cllr Rehman said: “Within the next few months.”
An official source explained different departments or portfolios had different by-law requirements to be relevant.
He added the by-laws were updated as and when required.
“It’s an ongoing process. For example, when a certain matter arises, we need to then relook at the policies and by-laws related to that.”
