This was as a result of a request from our Board to assess all disposal authorities issued over 10 years ago and is also in accordance with our advice that disposal authorities issued over 10 years ago need to reviewed. GA39 was issued in 2011.

The General retention and disposal authority: administrative records (GA28) identifies common and general administrative records created and maintained by NSW public offices which are required as State archives, and provides approval for the destruction of other records after minimum retention periods have been met.
It applies to records created and maintained by NSW public offices since 1940.
The purpose of GA39 is to identify records created and maintained by NSW councils and county councils which are required as State archives, and to provide approval for the destruction of certain other records after minimum retention periods have been met. It applies to all records of council business and administration.
