• Ensure consistency and fairness in the manner in which Council deals with issuing orders

• Make Council’s policy and requirements for orders readily accessible and understandable to the public

• Establish a system which can effectively resolve disputes and conflicts as they arise

• Provide a framework which will allow Council to prioritise workload.
