Human Rights Statement
In developing this Report the subject matter has been considered in accordance with the
requirements of the Queensland Human Rights Act 2019. It is considered that the Delegations
Review does not conflict with any human rights and supports a human rights approach to decision
making by Council.
In the exercise of these powers, the CEO will need to consider human rights compatibility and may
be required to make further statements to comply with the Human Rights legislation. The CEO
and Council representatives will endeavour to act and make decisions under this Report in a
manner that is compatible with human rights. In particular, representatives will endeavour to:
•        identify relevant human rights which may be affected by the action or decision;
•        give proper consideration to the impact of its actions and decisions on human rights; and
•        ensure that any conduct or decision by Council which limits an individual’s human rights is
         reasonable and justifiable.
This Report should be read in conjunction with Council’s Human Rights Policy.
