Under s.16 of the State Records Act 2000 all State organisations must have a record keeping plan (RKP), which among other matters must set out:
- the State records that will be State archives (kept permanently)
- the retention period for those government records that are not State archives
For State organisations, most records will be covered by the General Retention and Disposal Authority for State Government Information (GRDA).
Where the organisation creates or captures records that are not covered by the GRDA, they will be required to develop a retention and disposal authority (RDA) to manage those records.
