Dear Mr Tonoli

 

Thank you for your email below.

 

Section 17(2a) of the Freedom of Information Act 1982, requires that an
application fee of $27.90 accompany a request for access.  Such a fee did
not accompany your request.  Accordingly, I cannot process your request
until you pay the application fee.

 

If you are unable to pay the fee on the basis of hardship, please state
your reasons in writing and provide any evidence that you believe supports
your claim.  A decision will then be made as to whether your hardship
claim is accepted or not and you will be advised of the outcome.

 

Should you have any questions about your request, please contact Council’s
Acting Governance Projects Officer, Elizabeth Manou on telephone 9278
4473.

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

David Thompson
Manager Governance

The applicant has not told Right to Know the status of this request and I have been asked to update the status.

Mostly I classify a response like this one to say "clarification requested" because the agency has told the applicant that some more information (or money!) is needed before the request will be processed. With this request, I have put the response in the category of "refused" because it is some time since the agency responded and the applicant does not appear to have made a follow-up. It is possible that a follow-up has been made by the ordinary post or by private email but Right to Know has not heard anything about this. Even if the applicant did not follow-up agency questions, it does not mean that the agency will refuse the request when an application is made in the correct (required) manner.
