In accordance with Section 27 of the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (GIPA), Council is required to maintain a register that records information about  each government contract which has (or is likely to have) a value of $150,000 or more.

Under Section 35 (2) (b) of the Act, Councils are required to publish their contracts register on their  website, making this page the centralised location for all current contracts entered into by Council since 1 July 2010. Registers for previous years can be accessed below.

Contracts that must be included in the government contracts register are certain classes of contract   between an agency and a private sector contractor for a value of $150,000 or more, and involve:

Employment contracts do not need to be included in the register.
