DECCW Summary of affairs
All government agencies were required under the Freedom of Information Act 1989 (FOI Act) to publish a Summary of Affairs in the Government Gazette every June and December.
The DECCW Summary of Affairs identified:
DECCW policy documents that are publicly available
the method, contact person, address and times for obtaining access to our policy documents (by inspection or purchase).
A policy document means:

a document containing particulars of any administrative scheme; or
a document containing a statement of the manner, or intended manner, of administration of any legislative instrument or administrative scheme; or
a document describing the procedures to be followed in investigating any contravention or possible contravention of any legislative instrument or administrative scheme; or
any other document of a similar kind,
that is used by the agency in connection with the exercise of its functions that affect or are likely to affect rights, privileges or other benefits, or obligations, penalties or other detriments, to which members of the public are or may become entitled, eligible, liable or subject, but does not include a legislative instrument.
