Government Information (Public Access) Act (GIPA)
Your right to information
On 1 July 2010 new right to information legislation came into effect, replacing the former freedom of information law.
The new law:
-
creates new rights to information that are designed to meet community expectations of more open and transparent government
-
encourages government agencies to proactively release government information.
You can find out more about your right to information and new ways to access NSW government information on the Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) website at www.oic.nsw.gov.au.
Accessing Sydney Ferries' information
We are currently updating our website to enable better, quicker, direct access to many of the documents to be made available under the GIPA Act.
Our agency will publish a range of information under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009. In the meantime from 1 July 2010 we will be providing lists of documents which can be emailed to you, as well as some that can be accessed directly by you from this website.
If you have an enquiry about the GIPA Act process, or would like any of the documents listed, please send your request to our Information Access Officer at gipa@sydneyferries.nsw.gov.au.
