Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009
In the 2023-2024 financial year, Destination NSW received four valid access applications under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009.
Pursuant to the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009, Destination NSW reviews its release of Government information each year. As a result of this review, Destination NSW will continue to provide open access to a range of information, such as annual reports, e-newsletters, media resources, social media accounts, policy documents, statistics and research, and a register of government contracts including contract values and copies of Class 3 contracts.
Destination NSW aims to strike a balance to provide information to the public, while acknowledging the resources of Destination NSW and the commercial nature of its operations.
Destination NSW received one informal application during the reporting period. A detailed breakdown of the types and nature of the requests is provided in the following tables.
