PUBLIC PERUSAL OF RECORDS
 

This policy provides advice to assist in the interpretation of the Agricultural Land Commission Act, 2002 and Regulation. In case of ambiguity or inconsistency, the Act and Regulation will govern.

It is a policy of the Agricultural Land Commission that:

  • Files are available for viewing by the public. Portions of files may be restricted if the information is prohibited from release under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

  • Files must be viewed in the office of the Agricultural Land Commission and may not be removed from the office.

  • A person wishing to view a file should have an appointment to allow sufficient time for retrieval of the information without disrupting normal office procedures.

  • In order to retrieve a file for viewing relating to an application, it is necessary to identify the application number, the applicant’s name, or the legal description of the property.

  • A record of file viewings will be kept by the Commission.

The contents of the file may be photocopied. Retrieval of documents, copying fees and staff time will be charged as prescribed by the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act. A limited number of pages may be copied at the time of viewing, but substantial numbers of copies may require a longer time frame in order not to disrupt normal office procedures.
