LGOIMA Proactive Release
As part of our commitment to remaining open and accountable, we proactively release information and documents that are of interest to the public. Council approved the Proactive Release Policy in September 2023 which outlined how Council will continue to promote good governance and encourage transparency in decision-making by increasing the availability of official information in the community.
In accordance with the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA) and guidance from the Office of the Ombudsman, it is important that information that no longer needs to be excluded from the public should be released when it is possible to do so.
This also includes responses to LGOIMA requests where we feel it is in the public interest to also disclose the information.
Proactive Release
Items are displayed by categories based on Council’s significant activities, in order of newest to oldest release of information.
There might be an occasion where a report or minutes which has been in public excluded are made available or are updated as more information is able to be released (for example after an event has occurred); we will update the information and make it clear that the document is available on this page.
