The previously discussed pdf link appears in the City of Newcastle's contracts register:

http://www.newcastle.nsw.gov.au/Cou...ties/Access-to-Information/Contracts-Register

(2018, contract 2018/132T)

The Contracts Register webpage states:
"In accordance with the requirements of the Government Information (Public Access) Act, the following is a list of Council's class 1 contracts (value greater that $150,000)"

You can read more about the regulations governing disclosure of contracts here:

https://www.ipc.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/file_manager/DRAFT Module 2b Contracts Registers.pdf

I think that this confirms that the pdf refers to a contract.

IMO, DYOR.
