Derivatives of AS/NZS 1547:2012
Dear Australian Building Codes Board,
I am seeking access, under the FOI act, to unpublished (not presently available to the public) derivatives of AS/NZS 1547:2012.
The document(s) I'm looking for may be a draft intended as a future standard, an amended version of AS/NZS 1547:2012, or the like.
The document may be in your records as part of ABCB involvement with a Joint Technical Committee to develop or comment on the development of a new standard.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Mitchel Bradley
Dear Mr Bradley

The document(s) I'm looking for may be a draft intended as a future

Dear Freedom of Information,
Thank you for your quick response, I'm sorry that I don't understand why you have asked me to withdraw my request, if the requested documents do not exist in your records, is not the correct process for ABCB to confirm as much under FOI?
This request is substantively different to my previous request, in which I requested early drafts of AS/NZS 1547:2012. The document(s) I'm presently seeking may be a draft intended as a future
standard, an amended version of AS/NZS 1547:2012, or the like.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Mitchel Bradley
Dear Freedom of Information,
For clarity, I have not withdrawn my request.
