FOI Request: FA 22/02/01226
File Number: OBJ2022/4545
Dear SSR,
I refer to your email dated 21 February 2022 in which you request access to documents held by
the Department of Home Affairs (Department) under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the
FOI Act).
You have requested access to:
I would like to request the number of applications waiting to be allocated to the Citizenship
ceremony (who have been approved but are now waiting to be al ocated to a ceremony) at
Blacktown City council, Greater Sydney NSW.
On 25 March 2022, Department notified you of a requirement to pay a processing charge of
$15.00 in respect of your request.
In particular, Department notified you that, within 30 days of receipt of that letter, you must either:
• agree to pay the charge; or
• contend that the charge has been wrongly assessed, should be reduced, or should not
be imposed; or
• withdraw the request.
Department notified you that if, within 30 days of receipt of that letter, you failed to notify
Department of one of the above matters, your request would be considered to have been
withdrawn.
The 30 day period has now expired and Department does not appear to have heard from you in
response to that Notice. As such, in accordance with section 29 of the FOI Act, Department
considers that your request has been withdrawn.
If you have any enquiries concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me on
02 6275 5621.
Yours sincerely,
Signed electronically
