Thank you for your enquiry Dean.

I have included some information about Right to Information and
Information Privacy access applications below. 

Right to Information and Information Privacy Applications

To help us process your Right to Information (RTI) or Information Privacy
(IP) request, please complete the attached application form and give us
enough information to identify the documents you are seeking.

To apply for information held by the City of Gold Coast under the RTI Act
or the IP Act, you need to:

o complete the attached application form (PDF), sign it where indicated,
and return it to us, by either:

Email:         [1][email address]

·         ensure you provide an address where we can send written
correspondence (postal address or email address); and,

·         provide an original certified copy of your identification (if
the information you are requesting contains your personal information).

Fees

For RTI access applications, we will issue you a Notice to Pay for the
application fee. This fee cannot be waived. There is no application fee
for IP applications. You may also need to pay processing or access
charges. We will notify you of these once we have received and reviewed
your application. More information about RTI application fees and charges,
is available [2]here.

An original certified copy is considered valid if it is witnessed by a
lawyer, notary public, or a [3]Justice of the Peace or Commissioner for

Certified identity documents can be emailed or posted.

Applying on Someone’s Behalf

If someone is acting as your agent or on your behalf, they must also
provide evidence that they have authority to act on your behalf and a
certified copy of their ID.

Information to provide

You need to give us enough information about the documents you are
requesting to help us identify them. If you don’t give us enough
information, it may delay the processing of your application. The type of
information you need to provide will depend on the type of documents you
are after.
