Publication scheme

Under the Act, council is required to have a publication scheme that gives the public access to a broad range of information. Toowoomba Regional Council's publication scheme provides a guide to information routinely made available to the public.

Information can be viewed or downloaded from the site free-of-charge. Internet access is available at all of the region’s libraries.

If you are unable to find an item of information or need assistance, please contact us.

Information not covered by the publication scheme

Not all classes of council information are detailed in the publication scheme. Your request for unpublished information will be considered under the provisions of the Act.

While council will strive to meet the community’s disclosure expectations, it must also consider the need to protect commercially sensitive information, privacy principles and the public interest.

Information that is exempt

The Right to Information Act sets out a range of information that is exempt from publication. If you make a request for information which the council considers to be exempt, we will advise you of the reasons for the exemptions.
