Access to Information Policy Review

Consultation has concluded

Consultation period: Monday 5 June to Monday 3 July 2023

Council has reviewed and updated our Access to Information Policy. The purpose of this policy is to outline Council’s principles and commitment in providing public access to information in accordance with the Government Information (Public) Access Act 2009 (GIPA Act).

The GIPA Act defines how information held by Council can be made available to members of the public. All members of the public can apply for access to this information.

You can access and request information by:

  • Open access via the Council website search
  • Informal access to information request
  • Formal access to information request.

We are seeking feedback from our community on the Access to Information Policy. You can share your feedback until 3 July 2023:

  • In Writing to Sutherland Shire Council, Locked Bag 17, Sutherland 1499


Next steps

Following community consultation, Council will review and consider all feedback. Some changes may be made to the Policy. It will then be finalised and reported to Council for adoption. We will keep interested members of the community updated.
