2025 Review Privacy Policy and Management Plan

All Council policies need to be reviewed within 12 months of the Local Government Election.

Council has had a Privacy Policy and Plan in place for many years. They were last reviewed in 2020.

Proposed changes

• Combined into one document after reviewing to capture the Mandatory Notification Data Breach Scheme requirements and other changes since the last review.
• Plan now directly aligns with the Privacy Code of Practice for Local Government.
• Provides information to members of the public about what information Council collects and how that information is managed.
• Agencies had to review and update their Plan to comply with the new section 33(2)(c)(1) of the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998. This section requires the Plan to include provisions relating to ‘’the procedures and practices used by the agency to ensure compliance with the obligations and responsibilities set out in Part 6A for the mandatory notification of data scheme.’’

The Data Breach Policy will be updated with amendments linking directly to this new Privacy Policy and Management Plan when it is reviewed.
