Dear Ms Bacon

 

I refer to your attached email which was sent to Sydney Trains on 9 July 2015.  In that email you have indicated that you wish to make an access application for information regarding “all contracts let by WestConnex...aside from Class 3 contracts.”

 

There are a number of formal requirements for access applications.  An access application must:

 

1.       Be in writing and sent to the following address:

Information and Privacy Unit
Transport for NSW
PO Box K659
Haymarket NSW 1240

2.       Clearly indicate that you are requesting information under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009

3.       Include a $30 application fee – cheque or money order only, made payable to Transport for NSW

4.       Provide a return postal address in Australia as the address for correspondence

5.       Include as much specific information as necessary to enable us to identify the information you are seeking

 

Once you meet the formal application requirements, your application will be accepted by Transport for NSW and then forwarded to WestConnex for processing.

 

Based on the information you have provided in the attached email, you still need to provide the following information in order for your application to be accepted as valid:

 

·         Include a $30 application fee – we cannot accept your credit card details to pay this fee, because your application will be processed by WestConnex, which does not yet have this facility.

·         Provide a return postal address in Australia – even though you have requested that any information which may be provided to you should be in digital form, a return postal address in Australia is mandatory in order for your application to be valid.

 

Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Transport for NSW Information and Privacy Unit via email or phone as follows:

 

Email: [RMS request email]

Phone: (02) 8202 3768

 

Kind regards

Information Manager
