Dear "Me"
Freedom of Information Request No: 2122/19
Notice of Administrative Release
I refer to your correspondence to the National Capital Authority (
NCA) dated 15 April 2023, in which you
requested access to the fol owing documents:
•
Org chart down to SES Band 1 (or equivalent) incl names and contact information (doesn't have
to be all contact information. Phone numbers for the relevant EAs is fine.
•
NCA's most recent/relevant policy (or equivalent) on stakeholder engagement (or equivalent) for
stakeholders in the ACT that are not a government entity.
•
A/the list of non-government stakeholders in the ACT engaged about Commonwealth Ave bridge
upgrades to date, and the manner in which they were engaged.
The NCA has conducted a search for documents that fal within the scope of your request, and has
identified the documents that are
attached and identified in the table below.
The NCA has decided to release the attached documents to you as an administrative release, which is a
release of documents outside the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (
FOI Act). This means that there wil be
no charge for the release of these documents.
Request Description of document provided NCA comments
under administrative release
Part 1
NCA Organisation Chart as at February Redactions made to information about persons
2023 (most recent version)
other than NCA SES-level officers.
The NCA does not have an existing organisation
chart that includes direct contact details for SES
officers or their EAs.
If you would like to contact an NCA SES officer, you
can do so by email (in the format
xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx.xx), or by calling the
NCA switchboard on (02) 6271 2888.
Part 2
NCA Commitment to Community
This policy, recently updated, is published on the
Engagement Policy (April 2023)
NCA's website and can be accessed at:
Commitment to Community Engagement |
National Capital Authority (nca.gov.au)
Part 3
Stakeholder list
To comply with the NCA's obligations under the
Privacy Act 1988, third party personal information
has been redacted.
In relation to the third part of your request, the NCA's searches have not identified any documents that
specifically address "the manner in which [non-government stakeholders in the ACT] were engaged" about
the Commonwealth Avenue bridge upgrades. The FOI Act provides for a right to request access to existing
"documents" held by an agency, and not requests for "information". However, in the interests of assisting
you, I can advise that in relation to non-government stakeholder engagement:
• stakeholders have been emailed updates;
• special interest groups may have met with the NCA;
• the NCA has issued media releases and posted information on social media; and
• the NCA undertook community engagement via popup information booths around Lake Burley
Griffin at various times in April 2023.
We trust that this satisfies your request, and we will proceed to close this case.
If you have any questions about this letter, please em
ail xxx@xxx.xxx.xx.
Yours sincerely
Sally Barnes
Chief Executive
