Access to Council Information?

Access to documents, files or information held by Council is facilitated by the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009.  The new Act replaces the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) and Section 12 of the Local Government Act.

Under the Act, Council has a requirement to make many of Council’s documents, described as “open access” documents, free of charge to the public on our website (unless there is an overriding public interest against disclosure or to do so would impose unreasonable costs).

The “open access” documents follow this link.
