If you are seeking access to a document(s) on behalf of another person, the agency will require authorisation, usually in writing.

Form of Access

You can request access to documents by way of inspection, a copy of a document, a copy of an audio or videotape, a computer disk, a transcript of a recorded document or of words recorded in shorthand or encoded form, or a written document in the case of a document from which words can be reproduced in written form.

Fees and Charges

Before obtaining access to documents, you may be requested to pay additional fees. The Shire of York will provide an estimate of fees and charges prior to processing your request. You will be supplied with a statement of charges if appropriate required to pay processing charges.
