Accessing Information

How to access information managed by Council

Council is committed to being open and transparent. It provides information to the public about:

  • Council businesses
  • Council activities
  • Council services.

Much of this information is in documents which make up Council's Publication Scheme.

Publication scheme

You can access this information online by:

  • browsing the seven groups of information in the Publication Scheme.
  • using the site search. The search option is in the top right corner of each web page.

If the information is not online, you can request it by contacting the Governance Team.

Documents released after 2021 can be downloaded directly from Council’s Disclosure Log. Any documents released prior to 2021 can be requested by emailing the Governance Team or by sending a written request to:

Administrative Access Scheme

The Administrative Access Scheme allows public access to certain information held by Council through an efficient process.

Where appropriate, Council will release information under its Scheme. To find out more, read the Fact Sheet(PDF, 83KB).

Accessing and amending your personal information

The RTI Act allows you to apply for access to documents containing your Personal Information. 'Personal Information' is defined as:  

"information or an opinion about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable from the information or opinion—  

(a) whether the information or opinion is true or not, and  

(b) whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not. "  

If you are making an RTI Act access application for your Personal Information, you will only receive documents containing your personal information. 

The RTI Act also allows you to make an application to have your Personal Information amended if you believe it is: 

  • incomplete 

  • inaccurate 

  • out of date, or 

  • misleading. 

Please refer to Making an Application for more information about this process.

If you have questions about information access or amendment and Right to Information or Information Privacy, you can contact the Governance Team.
