This is faster than Premier Mike Baird and his cabinet ministers, whose disclosures occur only every three months.
However, Labor has stopped short of publishing meeting summaries for the rest of the shadow cabinet.
It is understood this is because of fears that revealing meetings between shadow ministers and community and other groups could make them less inclined to meet with the Opposition.
Mr Baird and his cabinet began publishing their diary summaries in July last year as part of an overhaul of lobbying rules in NSW.
The move came after revelations at the Independent Commission Against Corruption inquiries into Liberal Party fundraising and Australian Water Holdings.
After being challenged by Mr Baird to follow suit, Mr Foley's first disclosures were published this month, covering the period between January and June.
They reveal Mr Foley met David Rohrsheim, general manager of Uber Australia and New Zealand, on June 9.
In his budget reply speech on June 25, Mr Foley said he would introduce a bill to regulate ride sharing in NSW.
"The public should be free to choose the services they want without fear of retribution from government," he said.
The diary summaries also show that Mr Foley met with ClubsNSW chief executive Anthony Ball on June 23.
The meeting came after Fairfax Media revealed the government was seeking to substantially increase the amount of money that poker machine players can store in an account or a smartcard to $5000.
It coincided with a decision to increase the threshold below which poker machine winnings can be paid in cash instead of by cheque or electronic funds transfer from $2000 to $5000.
The proposals, supported by ClubsNSW, were slammed as "dangerous" for problem gamblers, and NSW Greens MP John Kaye subsequently announced he would move a disallowance motion in the Upper House.
But on June 25, Labor said it would not support the motion, ensuring that the government's changes took place.
A spokesman for Mr Foley said opposition parties "depend on the views of stakeholders, peak bodies, academics and community groups willing to share their expertise with us".
"Unlike government ministers we don't have access to an army of public servants and ministerial advisers," he said.
