How access to information is provided

Access to information held by Council is governed by the Government
Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (GIPA Act). In accordance with the
Act your request was treated as an informal request to access
information.

 

In dealing with your informal request I considered:

 

• The information you sought and whether an overriding public interest may
prevent release or whether it contained someone else’s personal
information.

 

• Whether the imposition of reasonable conditions would assist the release
of the information.

 

• The resources and time that would be required to search for and retrieve
the information.

 

• How the information could be supplied to you and whether it could be
presented in a form that would provide you with access without affecting
the interests of others.

 

Decision

Following my consideration of your request I have decided that access to
the information you sought cannot be provided informally. As this decision
relates to an informal request for information it cannot be reviewed.

 

Other options

The GIPA Act provides other options for you to consider that may enable
you to access the information you sought. You can make a formal request to
access the information. The link [1]Access to Information provides an
explanation of how to lodge a formal application to obtain information.

 

I trust that this information is of assistance.

 

Kind Regards,

Dwenda Lewis

Locutus Sum left an annotation ()

The applicant did not pay an application fee so the application was an informal application under the GIPA Act (NSW). The authority decided that it could not release the information informally and refused the application. An informal application cannot be reviewed. The applicant can make a new, formal, application at any time.
