50O Policy defence
For the purposes of any proceeding for the death of or injury to a person arising from—
(a) the use of a designated neighbourhood safer place; or
(b) a failure of a municipal council to designate a neighbourhood safer place—
an act or omission by a municipal council, which is in accordance with a policy in its Municipal Council Neighbourhood Safer Places Plan, does not constitute a wrongful exercise or failure by the municipal council, unless the policy is so unreasonable that no municipal council in that municipal council's position acting reasonably could have made that policy.
