freedom of information – now Government InformatIon (PublIc access) act 2009<br />

Sydney Ports Corporation is required to report annually on its obligations under the Government Information (Public Access)<br />

Act 2009 (the Act). The Act replaced the Freedom of Information Act 1989 which was repealed on 1 July 2010. The following<br />

information is required to be reported under the Act for the period 1 July 2011 to 30 June 20<strong>12</strong>.<br />

During the reporting period, Sydney Ports Corporation conducted a review of its program for the proactive release of<br />

government information. The review was conducted by Sydney Ports Corporation’s Company Secretary in conjunction<br />

with relevant business divisions. As a result of this review, Sydney Ports Corporation’s Publications Guide was updated<br />

and made publicly available on Sydney Ports’ website.<br />

During the reporting period, Sydney Ports Corporation received three formal access applications. No applications were<br />

withdrawn. Sydney Ports Corporation refused access to three applications, in part, because the applications requested<br />

information for which there is conclusive presumption of an overriding public interest against disclosure.<br />

The following tables disclose statistics as required by Schedule 2 of the Government Information (Public Access) Amendment<br />

Regulation 2010.<br />
