Note–due to some technical development issues and the upcoming holiday season, we have been forced to postpone the launch of the gazette website until late 2022.
In August 2020, we launched the gazette portal and notice lodgement form as phase 1 of our gazette streamlining process. In late 2022, we expect to roll out the final phase of the project, a NSW Government Gazette standalone website that holds all gazette data currently on the NSW legislation website.
The new gazette website gives users control over when notices are lodged and published—a notice can be published any day, any time straight after it’s been lodged and confirmed. If you’re an existing gazette client, you’ll log in with your existing credentials.
Features of the gazette website include:
- a layout specially developed to meet the needs of gazette clients and users
- self-publishing of notices (via the lodgement form users are already used to)
- a live feed on the Home page to easily confirm a notice has successfully published
- granular options for browsing to notices, including subject category pages
- enhanced display of notices in web pages (with PDF download also available)
- improved and expanded search functionality with multiple filtering options
- multiple user-help options
- no restriction on the size of PDF notices (though they must still be searchable).
The NSW Government Gazette website will still be managed by the Parliamentary Counsel’s Office and there will be quick links between the legislation website and the gazette website.
As we approach our launch date, we’ll be in touch directly with our existing gazette clients.
