Treasury highlights
Right to Information
The Right to Information Act 2009 came into effect on 1 July 2009, replacing the Freedom of Information Act 1992.
As part of the Right to Information reforms, new legislation has also been created which provides protection for individuals’ privacy. This new legislation is called the Information Privacy Act 2009.
The purpose of the reforms is to make more information available, provide equal access to information across all sectors of the community, and provide appropriate protection for individuals’ privacy.
A key component of these reforms is to make more information available on agency websites. Queensland Treasury has achieved this by developing a new Right to Information section on this website which includes:
- an explanation of Right to Information
- guidance on how to access information
- published information available under Treasury’s publication scheme
- information released in response to Right to Information requests.
Treasury Strategic Plan 2009-14
Queensland Treasury has just released its 2009-14 Strategic Plan. This whole-of-Department strategic plan sets the direction for our activities over the next five years, such as our key priorities, strategies and goals. Of particular focus in this plan is the key role Queensland Treasury has in managing the impacts of the global financial crisis to restore the State’s financial position. How Queensland manages the challenges of the global economic downturn is the driving force behind Treasury’s strategic direction over the coming years.
The Strategic Plan also includes general departmental information, a summary of output business priorities, and capability priorities for the Department.
