The information in the Planning Register Online has been compulsorily collected and made public under law for a particular purpose.
The purpose of the Planning Register Online is to enable any person to check that a planning permit application has been lodged, the location of proposed land development or use and the outcome of any assessment of a planning permit application.
The City of Stonnington is the responsible authority for land development and use planning within the municipality. Under s49 of the Planning & Environment Act 1987 the responsible authority must keep a register in the prescribed form of :
(a) all applications for permits; and
(b) all decisions and determinations relating to permits.
The Act also requires the responsible authority to make the register available at least during office hours for any person to inspect free of charge. This Planning Register Online fulfils the requirements of the Act.
The City of Stonnington must also fulfil the requirements of the Information Privacy Act 2000 which is applied so far as is reasonably practicable to personal information held on public registers.
Under the Information Privacy Act 2000 it may be an interference with the privacy of an individual for a person to search through the names, addresses and other information held on Permit Register Online in order to identify and market products or services to a section of the Register that meets a particular socioeconomic profile.
Consequently a condition of use of Permit Register Online is that you will not facilitate direct marketing to a property where an entry for that property does not show consent to receive direct marketing at that address. Do you accept this condition of use?
