This legislation is intended to create more open and accountable public authorities by providing greater rights of access to information. The Act places a duty on both the Board and Assessor (who are defined as separate public authorities) to produce Publication Schemes dealing with the availability of information in their possession.
The Board and Assessor schemes are available by clicking on these links and from 1 January 2005 you are able to request other information (subject to certain exclusions) not dealt with in the schemes.
Each scheme provides that certain “Classes of Information” are available free of charge (subject to postage etc costs) or freely available from this website. The links below will take you to the appropriate pages of the website or you may use the Adobe
© PDF links to obtain a downloadable copy. Some information is available only at a charge, details of which are contained in the publication schemes. Where a charge is made for a copy of information it can however be inspected free of charge at the Board’s offices if it is not available online.
