The paper concerns the access to the public information regarding local spatial planning in Poland. Particular attention is given to the spatial information disseminated on the Internet in compliance with the guidelines of the INSPIRE Directive of the European Parliament and Council. The study area of the project was Opolskie Voivodeship in southern Poland. An analysis was executed of the availability of local spatial planning acts, including their graphical parts, on the municipal websites and in the Bulletin of Public Information (BIP). The analysis included completeness of these documents and their available data formats. Moreover, websites of the municipalities / communes (Polish: gminy) were checked for availability of interactive maps or geoportals serving spatial data, especially regarding land use and spatial planning data from local spatial planning documents. The research revealed that the availability of the documents on the Web is currently broad, however not all graphical attachments are included and some, especially older, but still binding, documents are not available at all, despite the legal obligation. On the other hand, the availability of the spatial data regarding spatial planning (related to the INSPIRE "Land use" data theme) via local geoportals is very low. Even in the case of communes having their own geoportals, the spatial planning information is rarely presented and network services for spatial data dissemination (WMS, WFS) are not available. The study area was only one region (voivodship) however a general conclusion can be extrapolated that Polish communes are currently not prepared for the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive guidelines within the scope of the "Land Use" data theme.
