Tourism Australia – Freedom of Information Request – Extension to consult a third
party
We refer to your request for access to documents under the
Freedom of Information Act
1982 (Cth) (
FOI Act) dated 16 May 2021.
As your request covers documents which contain another individual’s personal information,
Tourism Australia is required to consult with that individual (under section 27A of the FOI Act)
before making a decision on the release of those documents.
For this reason the period for processing your request has been extended by 30 days in
order to allow our agency time to consult with that individual (section 15(6) of the FOI Act).
The processing period for your request wil now end on
15 July 2021.
The consultation mechanism under section 27A applies when we believe the individual (or
their representative) may wish to contend that the requested documents are exempt for
reasons of personal privacy. We wil take into account any comments we receive from the
individual but the final decision about whether to grant you access to the documents you
requested rests with Tourism Australia.
Yours sincerely,
Mark Craig
Executive General Manager, Corporate Services
Freedom of Information Officer
