| Public Body: | Town of Flatrock |
| Summary: | The Complainant made an access to information request to the Town of Flatrock for records containing advice from the Town Planner to the Town about the Complainant’s property. The Town provided responsive records, but withheld some information pursuant to section 29 (policy advice and recommendations) and section 30 (legal advice). The Complainant requested this Office review the Town’s decision to withhold this information.

The Commissioner found that the Town had appropriately withheld the remaining records. |
