On 1 July 2009 new legislation including the Right to Information Act 2009 (RTI Act) and the Information Privacy Act 2009 (IP Act) replaced the  Freedom of Information Act 1992 (FOI). The RTI Act covers non-personal applications and the IP Act is for access to personal information or to change personal details held by Council.

Right to Information is the Queensland Government's approach to giving the community greater access to information. The RTI Act covers documents of a non-personal nature that cannot be accessed from another source for example Council’s internet.
