Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009
The Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (NSW) (GIPA Act) replaced the Freedom of Information Act 1989 (NSW) on
1 July 2010. The GIPA Act has established a comprehensive system for public access to government information. Endeavour Energy
is subject to the GIPA Act and is committed to complying with the GIPA Act in a fair and objective manner when dealing with
external requests for access to company information and supports the proactive release of information where it is in the public
interest to do so.
Review of program for release of information
In 2010–11 Endeavour Energy reviewed its program for release of information as required by the GIPA Act. This included updating
policies and procedures regarding processing requests for access to government information; reviewing and publishing its
publications guide; training staff in GIPA Act compliance; publication of contractual information into a centralised database;
reviewing its website and publication of information regarding the network business such as the Annual Planning Statement and
Network Performance Report.
Total number of access applications received during the year
In 2010–11 Endeavour Energy received 18 new formal requests for information pursuant to the GIPA Act. The formal requests were
received from members of the public, members of Parliament, lawyers and investigators.
In response to the 18 requests, full access was provided on 11 occasions and on one occasion the information was publicly available
through the Internet. With respect to the remaining requests, 5 access applications were granted in part and one access application
was refused in full. A variety of public interest considerations were taken into account in dealing with these applications and these
are set out in Table E. In the course of determining access applications during the year Endeavour Energy did not rely on any of the
conclusive presumptions of overriding public interest against disclosure (as set out in schedule 1 of the GIPA Act).
