Beaufort and Redland Shire Council
(1997 L0010, 10 February 1998) 

This was a complex 'sufficiency of search' case in which the applicant asserted, and the respondent denied, the existence of an agreement between the respondent and neighbouring Councils restricting development within the catchment area of the Leslie Harrison Dam.  Following detailed investigations, the Information Commissioner was satisfied that no such formal agreement existed, and affirmed the decision under review.
