Placing a Notice

The Gazette provides a permanent, official public record of important statutory and non-statutory notices. Many notices that are placed in The Gazette are required by law (statutory), and many others are published because it is deemed to be in the public interest that the information they contain be made available in the public domain. Statutory notices can only be placed by people who have the authority to create an official record of fact.
