Council Registers

Council is required to keep certain registers, as outlined in Schedule 1 Additional open access information of the GIPA Act Regulation 2009. We are committed to providing the community with open and transparent access to information contained in our registers, where possible.

If the information you seek is not on our website, please contact us for further assistance.

Contracts Register

In accordance with Section 27 of the GIPA Act, Council is required to maintain a register that records information about each government contract which has (or is likely to have) a value of $150,000 or more*.

Further information can be found on Council's website including classes of contracts, tenders, what information is protected and what must be included in the register.

*Employment contracts do not need to be included in the register.

Development Standards Variation Register

In order to ensure transparency and integrity in the planning framework, Council maintains an online register of development applications with variations to development standards approved within the Wollondilly Shire Council Local Government Area under Clause 4.6 of the Wollondilly Local Environmental Plan (WLEP) 2011.

Disclosure Log

The Disclosure Log details information previously released to an applicant under a formal access application, that Council considers would be of interest to other members of the public.

It is important to note that access applications may be made public in Council's Disclosure Log. This is discretionary and is decided on an application-by-application basis.

Disclosure of Interests

Council’s ‘designated persons’ (under 4.8 of Council’s Code of Conduct) must make disclosures about their pecuniary interests at least annually via a Disclosure of Interests Return.

These returns are considered ‘open access information’ under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (GIPA Act) and must be made publicly available on Council’s website unless there is an overriding public interest against disclosure.
