File Number: OBJ2022/7113 
Dear Mr J, 
I refer to your email dated 23 March 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 citizenship applicants who are approved and are 
now waiting to complete the citizenship ceremony for Blacktown council.  
On 11 April 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withdrawn.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Department considers that your request has been withdrawn.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 mat er, please do not hesitate to contact me 
on Email: xxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx 
 
Yours sincerely,
