Liverpool Plains Shire Council is committed to open and transparent decision-making and making information about our activities, decisions and performance readily available to our community.
The Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (GIPA Act) provides a framework for accessing information held by NSW government agencies, including local councils. The Act encourages the proactive release of government information and provides members of the public with a legally enforceable right to access government information, unless there is an overriding public interest against disclosure.
Council publishes a wide range of information through this website. This includes Annual Reports, Audited Financial Statements, policies, delegations, our Contracts Register, Disclosure Log and other information about Council’s governance, operations and decision-making.
If the information you are looking for is not already publicly available, you may be able to request access informally or submit a formal access application under the GIPA Act. Formal applications are generally intended as a last resort where information cannot otherwise be made available. Further information about your rights under the GIPA Act is available from the NSW Information and Privacy Commission.
