required for the purposes of this Ordinance as it thinks fit.

(2) The Council's power under subsection (1) shall be subject to any express
requirement under this Ordinance for a licence or application under this
Ordinance to comply with that requirement, but that requirement shall not
restrict the exercise of that power in respect of the licence or application,
as the case may be, to the extent that, in the opinion of the Council, its
exercise of that power in respect of that licence or application, as the case
may be, does not contravene that requirement.

               and correct to the best of that person's knowledge and belief;

   (b)  specify 2 or more forms of any licence, application or other document
        referred to in that subsection, whether as alternatives, or to provide
        for particular circumstances or particular cases, as the Council
        thinks fit.
