Right To Know Week 2024

Right to Know Week NSW runs from 23-29 September 2024 – an international campaign that aims to raise awareness of the public’s right to access government-held information.  This year’s theme is ‘Mainstreaming Access to Information and Participation in the Public Sector in NSW’.

The public has a right to access information from Wentworth Shire Council.   You can access information that we have made available on our website as open access information, or you can make an informal request or, in some cases, you may need to make a formal access application. 

This week is Right to Know Week.  In NSW, the Information and Privacy Commission (IPC) encourages all NSW public sector agencies to improve their knowledge about their transparency obligations under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (GIPA Act).

Wentworth Shire Council is a proud Champion of Right to Know Week NSW 2024 and is committed to supporting public participation through greater transparency.

This short animation below lets you know the different ways you can access government information held by Council.
