Hi,

never worked in a field you mentioned but hopefully I will be able to give you a 
hand.

In my view, a tape recording of an open meeting is accessible, for any person 
could have been present, and none of the grounds for denial would apply. 
Moreover, there is case law indicating that a tape recording of an open 
meeting is accessible for listening and/or copying under the Freedom of
Information Law [see Zaleski v. Board of Education of Hicksville Union Free 
School District, Supreme Court, Nassau County, NYLJ, December 27, 1978].

Additionally there is a policy related to Audio Recordings of Council and 
Committee Meetings - but valid in Australia ... You will find it here:
