no difference really in this case

Municipal by-laws are public regulatory laws which apply in a certain area. The main difference between a by-law and a law passed by a national/federal or regional/state body is that a bylaw is made by a non-sovereign body, which derives its authority from another governing body, and can only be made on a limited range of matters. A local council or municipal government gets its power to pass laws through a law of the national or regional government which specifies what things the town or city may regulate through bylaws. It is therefore a form of delegated legislation.

Within its jurisdiction and specific to those areas mandated by the higher body, a municipal by-law is no different than any other law of the land, and can be enforced with penalties, challenged in court and must comply with other laws of the land, such as the country's constitution. Municipal bylaws are often enforcable through the public justice system, and offenders can be charged with a criminal offence for breach of a bylaw. Common bylaws include vehicle parking and stopping regulations, animal control, building and construction, licensing, noise, zoning and business regulation, and management of public recreation areas.

Local authorities are empowered to make bylaws by the Local Government Act. Many are now doing away with a lot of the bylaws and using the RMA as the penalties are far greater. There is no future in prosecuting someone and getting a twenty dollar fine and then the bill comes in from the lawyers at a couple of grand. They are also using it instead of the nuisance section of the Health Act for the same reason. Christchurch City has got rid of many of their bylaws now.
