A reporting document of that kind is referred to in this section as a relevant reporting document.

(3) APRA must not make a determination under subsection (2) unless APRA gives interested parties for the determination a reasonable opportunity to make representations as to whether or not the relevant reporting document contains, or relevant reporting documents of that kind contain, confidential information. (4) APRA may determine that: (a) all or a specified part of a relevant reporting document does not contain confidential information; or (b) all or a specified part of relevant reporting documents of a specified kind do not contain confidential information; if, taking into account any representations made under subsection (3) in relation to the document or documents of that kind, APRA considers that the benefit to the public from the disclosure of the document or documents, or information contained in the document or documents, outweighs any detriment to commercial interests that the disclosure may cause.
