  • Clem Newton-Brown and Flinders Council

    On 23 June 2023 Mr Clem Newton-Brown submitted an application for assessed disclosure under the Right to Information Act 2009 (the Act) to Flinders Council (Council). As part of this application Mr Newton-Brown requested three items of information related to a development application Mr Newton-Brown submitted to Council. This development application proposed to build visitor accommodation on Little Dog Island.

    On 16 August 2023 a decision was issued to Mr Newton-Brown by Council’s General Manager, Mr Warren Groves. Mr Groves determined that some information responsive to Mr Newton-Brown’s application was exempt from disclosure pursuant to ss31 (legal professional privilege) and 36 (personal information) of the Act.

    Mr Newton-Brown sought external review of this decision and the Ombudsman determined that Council’s use of ss31 and 36 should be varied.
