Agency's access to records in custody of State Records
25 Agency's access to records in custody of State Records
The agency responsible for an official record in the custody of State Records is to have such access to, and may make or direct such use of, the record as it requires.
Despite subsection (1)—
an agency is not entitled to resume possession of an official record that has been in existence for 15 years or more for longer than is reasonably necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency; and
an agency's access to an official record is subject to conditions imposed by the Manager to ensure the preservation of the record.
If there is a dispute as to access under this section, the Minister may, on application, determine the matter.
