Dear SA Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure,
I would like to request a copy of the CCTV footage recorded in the eastern side of the Smithfield Plains train station on Wednesday the 15th of February 2017. The times I am needing are between 740am and 500pm.
In particular I am needing footage of the cars that are parallel parked in the eastern car park along side the train tracks
Yours faithfully,
H. Young
Good Morning Hope,
To lodge a FOI application we have forms which need to be completed and there is a fee which is required to be paid. However, before we go down this path, would it be possible for you to call me on 82600531 or provide a phone number that I could call you on? I just wanted to talk to you about your request to obtain some more background to help you find the best path to assist you.
Thank you,
Teena Lenton

In my opinion, this is a good response from an agency. It likely that the officer knows that there will be problems with an FOI request so instead of saying only, "pay the fee", the officer has also asked for a conversation first. It will always be possible for the applicant to make a formal FOI application but after the conversation with the officer, the different choices will be clearer.
Request to applicant: Please add an annotation to this page to say if you had the conversation and what result ther was.
