Dear Mr Smith,
Acknowledgement of Freedom of Information Request no. 2017/18 01
I refer to your request for access to documents under the
Freedom of Information Act
1982 (FOI Act).
On 12 July 2017 you requested access to the data from the telephone conference that
occurred on 6 September 2016 in matter 2016/2300. On 13 July 2017 I wrote to you to
clarify the meaning of ‘data’, and you responded on 15 July 2017 that by ‘data’ you
mean everything that was said in the telephone conference on the date specified. On 19
July 2017 you clarified further that you are referring to all the information that was
recorded in the phone conference.
I have taken your request to be for access to an audio recording of the telephone
conference as well as any written record of what was discussed in the telephone
conference held on 6 September 2017 in matter 2016/2300.
As your revised request was received on 15 July 2017, the 30 day statutory period for
processing your request commenced from the day after that date. You should therefore
expect a decision from us by 14 August 2017. The 30 day period may be extended if we
need to consult other parties or for other reasons permitted under the FOI Act.
We will contact you using the email address you have provided. Please advise if you
would prefer us to use an alternative means of contact.
If you have any questions, please contact me on 02 9276 5360 or at
xxx@xxx.xxx.xx. Yours sincerely,
Claire Jordan
