Freedom of Information

Any documents in the possession of Council that are not available to the public will require an application to gain access. It is best to firstly ascertain if the document you wish to gain access to is a public document, you will be surprised how many of Council’s documents are already available to you.

Of course you can, our Freedom of Information Officers would be pleased to discuss with you the documents you are looking to access and give any guidance required.

A lot of our documents are already available to the public and do not require a freedom of information application.

Please note that some documents are classed as exempt documents and may not be available under the Freedom of Information Act.
