The IQPA contains provisions protecting declared local laws if the local government proposes:

• to amend or repeal a local law
• that any provision of the local law is or is not a redundant position (under the Local Government Act 1993 (section 899c)).

If the local government proposes any of these actions, it must prepare an impact report which evaluates the effect of taking these proposed actions on the iconic place. Additional requirements apply if consultation or consideration of state interests is to occur in regard to any of the proposed actions (section 62-65 of the IQPA).
