The Yarra Ranges Shire Council is completely out of order - and certainly outside of International law on Human Rights - by undertaking that "in all its decisions, actions and policies it will only limit, restrict or impede the Human Rights of any person or group to the extent that is reasonable".
If they were talking about civic liberties, it might be fair warning that they may be curbed (as in terrorism threats or something), but they are not! They are talking human rights ... as in the right to food, the right to clean air, and the right of free passage.
If your council thinks it can take away human rights - in any form - you need a new council and we need to complain to the human rights commission.
