Publication Scheme

Section 21 of the Right to Information Act 2009, requires Council to have in place a Publication Scheme.  The purpose of this Scheme is to present a consolidated, user-friendly and comprehensive overview of Council’s organisation, its relationship to the community and the various avenues for public access to Council’s processes.  Most items contained within the Publication Scheme are directly accessible from Council’s website.

Our information has been grouped and is accessible through the following categories:

Exempt Information

Not all information is available through Council’s Publication Scheme.  If the information you need is not published, you can request it through a Right to Information application.  Your request will be considered based on the provisions of the Right to Information Act 2009.

If you have any concerns that the information contained in the Publication Scheme is not available or inaccessible, please contact us on phone 07 4761 5300 or mail@charterstowers.qld.gov.au with details of the issue.
