Common use of Right to Information Act 2009 Clause in Contracts

Right to Information Act 2009. (a) The Right to Information Act 2009 (RTI Act) provides members of the public with a right to access documents held by Queensland Government agencies (including local governments). (b) The RTI Act requires that documents be disclosed upon request, unless the documents are exempt or, on balance, disclosure is contrary to the public interest. Information provided by the Respondent is potentially subject to disclosure to third parties pursuant to the RTI Act. (c) If disclosure under the RTI Act, or general disclosure of information provided by the Respondent, would be of substantial concern to the Respondent, because it would disclose trade secrets, information of commercial value, the purpose or results of research or other information of a confidential nature, including Personal Information, this should be indicated by the Respondent in its Offer. Council cannot guarantee that any information provided by the Respondent will be protected from disclosure under the RTI Act.
