Extension of time application by the Department of Industry, Science,
Energy and Resources
Dear Menzies
I write to advise that on 25 January 2021, the Office of the Australian
Information Commissioner (the OAIC) received an application from Ms Emily
Hill of Minter Ellison Lawyers on behalf of the Department of Industry,
Science, Energy and Resources (the Department) for an extension of time,
to process your FOI request.
The Department has applied for an extension of time under s 15AC of the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) because it has been unable to
finalise your request within the initial decision period.
The Department has advised the OAIC that:
· On 2 December 2020, the Department received your request
· On 4 December 2020, searches commenced
· on 9 December 2020, the Department requested a 15AA extension of
time from you, however a response was not received
· on 16 December 2020, the line area sought further information to
finalise searches
· on 5 January 2021, the Department contacted you to clarify the
scope of your request
· on 8 January 2021, a revised search minute was sent to the line
area
· the Department have advised that you have made eight separate
FOI requests relating to similar subject matter, of which the Department
has also received a large volume of requests since June 2020
· due the voluminous amount of requests, significant amount of
resources has been devoted to processing these requests
· the Department further advises that due to the Christmas/new
year shutdown period, this caused a delay in processing your request, and
additional time is required to finalise the request.
The Department has requested an extension to 24 February 2021. I will take
any comments you may have to make into account when deciding the
application.
Please respond to this email by close of business 29 January 2021. If I do
not hear from you by this date, the decision maker will make a decision on
the basis of the information provided to me by the Department.
You will be notified of the decision once the matter has been finalised.
Further information about extension of time requests may be found on our
website at [2]Extensions of time.

If you have any questions regarding this email please contact me on (02)
