Under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (GIPA Act), when deciding whether or not to release information, Council must consider whether there is an overriding public interest against releasing the information.
Section 6(5) of the GIPA Act requires Council to keep a record of Open Access Information which it does not make publicly available on the basis of an overriding public interest against disclosure (OPIAD).
This record will only indicate the general nature of the information concerned.
- Personal information contained in records received in relation to a proposed development, is deleted to ensure compliance with the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998. This information is deleted to enable the remainder of the record to be released as permitted by s6(4) of the GIPA Act and in accordance with Open Access requirements.
- Principal place of residence and signatures contained in Returns of Interests of councillors and designated persons, are deleted to enable the remainder of the record to be released as permitted by s6(4) of the GIPA Act and in accordance with Open Access requirements.
- Submissions received on Development Applications are not made available on Council's website due to an overriding public interest against disclosure of personal information. Submissions can be accessed by submitting an Informal request for Access to Information using Council's Online Services.
- Childcare centre evacuation plans submitted with Development Applications are not made available on Council's website due to an overriding public interest against disclosure.
