Our publication scheme describes and categorises information routinely available. It has been developed to give the community greater access to information held by the Hinchinbrook Shire Council.
The seven categories of information are:
Who we are and what we do - background information about the Council, location and contacts, constitutional and legal governance and historical information.
The services we offer - a description of the services offered by the Council, including advice and guidance, booklets and leaflets, transactions and media releases.
What we spend and how we spend it - financial information relating to projected and actual income and expenditure, tendering, procurement and contracts.
What our priorities are and how we are doing - strategy and performance information, plan assessments, inspections and reviews.
How we make decisions - policy proposals and decisions, decision making processes, internal criteria and procedures and consultations.
Our policies and procedures - the current written protocols for delivering our functions and responsibilities.
Information held in registers required by law and other lists and registers relating to the functions of the agency.
