Good afternoon

I refer to your request received on 1 February 2020 for access to documents under the FOI Act. 

The current due date for your request is 2 March 2020.  Due to the number of requests currently being processed by our office, we will not be able to finalise your request by the original due date.

In order for the Department to complete the process of retrieving all the documents that fall within the scope of your request the Department will require additional time to process your request.

The Department seeks your agreement under section 15AA of the FOI Act to extend the timeframe for the processing of your request by 30 days.  This would extend the due date for your request to Wednesday 1 April 2020. 

We also require a response to our email of 4 February 2020 (copy attached), requesting clarification of the scope of your request.  We cannot proceed with processing your request until we receive your reply.

It would assist the Department in managing its FOI caseload if you could provide a response to this request by close of business, Tuesday 3 March 2020.

If you wish to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact the FOI section on the details below.

Regards
