Each person making a representation or submission, is undertaking to participate in a public process.
The Commission redacts some personal information from representations and submissions published on the website. In general, your name and suburb (or general location) will be made public.
The Commission relies upon its website as the primary means by which relevant documents are provided to parties to its proceedings.
To ensure procedural fairness, the Commission will consider requests from parties to a proceeding for full unredacted copies of representations and submissions. If unredacted copies are provided by the Commission, this will be by direct notification only and not published on the website.
While the Commission has powers to take confidential submissions, the decision to do so (wholly or in part) is a matter for the Commission’s delegates. Any party to a proceeding requesting that their submission should remain confidential must make their request in writing to the Commission, setting out their reasons.
