Right of access under the FOI Act
The Information Publication Scheme (IPS) aims to transform the freedom of information framework from one that responds to individual requests for access to documents, to one that requires agencies to take a proactive approach to publishing information.
The IPS under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) requires the Clean Energy Regulator to ensure that certain information, including Agency Plan and Operational Plan are easily found on the website.
Agency Plan
The FOI Act requires the agency to have an agency plan showing:
- what information the agency proposes to publish
- how, and to whom, the agency proposes to publish information for the purposes
- how the agency otherwise proposes to comply with this.
For more information see the Clean Energy Regulator’s Agency plan.
Operational Information
The FOI Act requires the agency to make its operational information available. This information outlines how the agency will carry out its functions in making decisions or recommendations affecting members of the public.
