Proactive Release Register
Proactive release is the release of information by an agency, in an appropriate manner and free of charge (or at lowest reasonable cost). Agencies are encouraged to go beyond the minimum mandatory disclosure requirement, unless there is an overriding public interest against disclosure.
Below are documents that the State Library has released as part of the Proactive Release Register.
