Open access information not disclosed


Under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (GIPA Act), when deciding whether or not to release information, government agencies must consider whether there is an overriding public interest against releasing the information.

For more information on how government agencies apply the public interest test when determining whether to release information, please refer to this fact sheet from the Office of the Information Commissioner.

If the Sydney Catchment Authority decides not to release certain information based on an overriding public interest against disclosure, details will be published on this page.
