Returns of Interest

The NRJO is required to provide copies of its board members’ pecuniary interest returns (refer to Part 4 of the NRJO Code of Conduct) as open access information on its website, unless an overriding public interest against disclosure of the information exists, in accordance with the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (‘GIPA Act’). To facilitate public access to these records, some of the information contained within them may be redacted as permitted under section 6(4) of the GIPA Act. Where information has been redacted, the text overlaying the redaction is a reference to the relevant factor/s against disclosure of the information contained in the Table of section 14 of the GIPA Act.

Members of the public who wish to view original returns at a Council office, may make a written application to the NRJO addressed to the Executive Officer. Please note that a statutory declaration stating the intended use of the information, may be required.
