Good afternoon DT,
I refer to your request for access to documents relating to:
any and all details of subcontracts between Transfield Services and Wilson Security as per the "Heads of Agreement" for services rendered on Nauru and Manus Island Regional Processing Centers.
The current due date for your request is 4 April 2014. Due to the number of requests currently being processed by our office, I anticipate I won’t reasonably be able to finalise your request by the original due date.
The Department seeks your agreement (under s.15AA of the FOI Act) to extend the timeframe for the processing of your request by 14 days. This would extend the due date for your request to 18 April 2014. The reason for this extension is due to the complexity of this request and the time it is anticipated it will take to make a decision on the documents you’ve requested.
Please provide a response to this request by close of business Tuesday 1 April 2014.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you wish to discuss.
Yours sincerely
Ashley Smith
