Dear Gyandeep,
I refer to your email dated 22 April 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:
For the LGA of Randwick in NSW, can you please tell me the number of citizenship
applicants who were approved for citizenship on or before 1 April 2022 and are stil
waiting to attend their citizenship ceremony.
On 16 May 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withdrawn.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Department considers that your request has been withdrawn.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:

Yours sincerely,
Signed electronically
