Charter of Human Rights

Statement of Human Rights

Adopted by Council on 4 February 2008

The City of Stonnington recognises and respects that everyone has the same human rights entitlement to allow them to participate in, and contribute to, society and our community. We recognise that all persons have equal rights in the provision of, and access to, Council services and facilities. We recognise that, at times, such rights may be limited, insofar as to strike a balance between individual rights and the protection of public interest.
