• Ruth Forrest and Waratah-Wynyard Council

  On 29 September 2020, the Honourable Member for Murchison, Ruth Forrest MLC, made an application for assessed disclosure under the Right to Information Act 2009 (the Act) to the Department of Justice (the Department). The information requested related to two development applications received by Waratah-Wynyard Council (Council) concerning a proposed development at 30B Old Bass Hwy, Wynyard. Ms Forrest’s application was transferred by the Department to Council as the request related more closely to Council’s functions. Council issued a decision on 4 November 2020.

  On 13 January 2021, due to irregularities in the decision, Council issued a fresh decision to Ms Forrest. Council made some information available for inspection in accordance with s18(1)(a) of the Act and applied s35 to exempt other relevant information from disclosure.

  Ms Forrest sought an external review of this decision. The Ombudsman determined that exemptions claimed pursuant to s35 were not made out and information was not exempt pursuant to s39.
