             In developing this Policy, the subject matter has been considered in accordance with the requirements

                (c) ensure that any conduct or decision by Council which limits an individual's human rights is
                   reasonable and justifiable.

            This policy should be read in conjunction with Council’s Human Rights Policy and Operational
