The Freedom of Information Act 2016 identifies a number of information types that agencies are required to make publicly available, including:
- the functions of the agency, including structure, kinds of government information held and how requests for information may be made;
- the work of the agency as contained in any document tabled in the Legislative Assembly;
- the agency’s policy documents;
- budgetary papers;
- government grants made or administered by the agency;
- the agency’s disclosure log;
- a statement of all boards, councils, committees, panels and other bodies established by the agency for the purpose of advising the agency or responsible Minister, including reports or recommendations prepared by such bodies;
- ministerial briefs (incoming ministerial, parliamentary estimates, annual reports and question time) that are five or more years old;
- a publication undertaking by the agency;
- information declared by the ACT Ombudsman to be open access information; or
- information prescribed by regulation.
Our information relevant to most of these information types is available on our website at www.act.gov.au/majorprojectscanberra. Documents will be added to over time and as requirements take effect. Information will also be published on the ACT Government’s open access website www.act.gov.au/open-access.
