What to do if you are not satisfied

If you are not satisfied with any decision about your Right to Information Application or your Information Privacy Application you can:

Step 1 - Request an Internal Review (optional)

You may wish to apply to Council for an internal review of the original decision.  Your application for internal review must be made within 20 business days after the date of the written notice of the decision.

A person senior to the original decision-maker will review your application and inform you of the review decision as soon as practicable but no later that 290 business days after the internal review application is made to Council. Reasons will be given if access or amendment is still refused.

To apply for an internal review, submit a written application to:

Bulloo Shire Council
P.O. Box 46
THARGOMINDAH QLD 4492

Step 2 - Request an External Review

If you are not satisfied with Council's internal review decision, you may wish to apply to the Office of the Information Commissioner for an external review.

Please also note that you can now apply directly to the Office of the Information Commissioner for an external review of Council's original decision.

The Information Commissioner may change or conform the decision made on your application or try to mediate a settlement between the parties.

For more information about requesting an external review, visit the Office of the Information Commissioner Website.
