At its meeting on 24 May 2023, Armidale Regional Council resolved to place the draft Privacy Management Plan on public exhibition for 28 days from Monday 29 May to Monday 26 June 2023.

Background:

Council’s existing Privacy Management Plan (The Plan) was adopted by Council on 27 January 2021. The Plan is being reviewed as part of Council’s regular policy review cycle. The Plan outlines the framework under which Armidale Regional Council collects, stores and uses a broad range of information for the purpose of facilitating its business. A significant part of that information is personal and health information. It is important that the community and Council officials, including Councillors, employees, contractors and volunteers, understand how we manage personal information. Council is required to have a Privacy Management Plan under s33 of the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 (NSW) (PPIPA). The Plan outlines how Council complies with the legislative requirements of the PPIPA, the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 (HRIPA) and the Privacy Code of Practice for Local Government (Code).

Submissions are invited and must be addressed to the General Manager, Armidale Regional Council, PO Box 75A, Armidale, NSW 2350, or sent by email to council@armidale.nsw.gov.au.

Submissions must be received by Monday 26 June 2023.

Please be aware that if you make a submission, other people may have access to your comments. This may be as a result of a report to a Council meeting or as part of an application under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009. Also, under State legislation, any person making a submission on a Draft LEP amendment must also disclose whether they or an ‘associate’ have made a ‘reportable political donation’ or gift to a local Councillor or Council employee within the period commencing two years before any submission is made and ending when the Draft LEP is determined. Further details including disclosure forms are available on request from Council.
