“A gazette is an official publication for the purpose of notifying the actions and decisions of the government.” (Source: GovPubs). Gazettes may include legislation, appointments, declarations, determinations, proclamations and a variety of official notices.
There have been several different series of Commonwealth gazettes over the years – see GovPubs for details.
