 Good afternoon Louis







 I refer to your FOI request FOI 544/20/21.







 Your request was forwarded to Navy for consideration. The Accredited

 Decision Maker CAPT Andrews has advised that your request covers documents

 which contain information of a personal nature of a number of third

 parties.







 CAPT Andrews has determined that there is requirement to consult the third

 parties under section 27A of the FOI Act, before making a decision on the

 release of the documents.







 Section 15(6) of the FOI Act provides for an extension of 30 days to be

 added to the statutory time limit for processing requests.  Therefore, the

 deadline for providing you with the decision on your request is now 3

 August 2021.







 Please advise if you consent to FOI Directorate naming you as the

 applicant to third parties for the purpose of consultation by COB 16 June

 2021.







 While you are under no obligation to reveal your identity as the applicant

 and we will not disclose your identity without consent, in our

 experience, third parties will generally be more likely to object to the

 release of their information if they do not know who the applicant is.







 Should you have any questions relating to your request, please do not

 hesitate to contact our office via telephone on (02) 6266 2200 or via

 email to [1][email address].







 Regards
