Government Gazettes

A Gazette is an official publication used to notify the public on the actions and decisions of the government. Australian governments at Commonwealth, State, and Territory level publish gazettes.

Notices published in the government gazette cover a broad range of aspects of government regulation and are generally published because of a requirement of the law. Acts, regulations, and other legislation are notified in gazettes.

The Norfolk Island Regional Council (NIRC) publishes its Gazette notices online on Council's website - please refer to the related content section at the bottom of this page.

• statutory appointments

• information relating to planning and development applications
• information relating to the court of petty sessions
• government orders of various kinds
• private notices of a legal nature e.g. bankruptcies, company registrations and windings-up, probate, by-laws of companies under royal charter
