Western Australian Consolidated Acts Western Australian Consolidated Acts (1) All public
authorities shall, and are hereby authorised to, give to the Council such
assistance in the carrying out of the functions of the Council as is
reasonably practical, and shall comply with all reasonable requests for
information made by the Council, but this Act shall not be taken as exempting
the Council from any requirement as to the payment of fees or charges.
(2) Where the Council
is of the opinion that a public authority has not complied with
subsection (1) the Minister of the Crown having responsibility for that
public authority may, on the request of the Council and after consultation
with the Minister for Public Sector Management 2 , direct that authority to
provide the assistance to the Council, and any such direction may require that
the services of any person employed or engaged by that authority shall be made
available for the purpose.
