Federal and state support of the incubator support initiative
To whom it may concern,
I am requesting a document with monthly data for the entrepreneur program incubator support initiative ('new and existing incubators') under the freedom of information act.
The document should be a spreadsheet with a monthly entry for each state since this program began including:
* Number of regional applications lodged
* Number of metro applications lodged
* Total regional funding approved
* Total metro funding approved
* Total co-funding from state government sources for grants approved
* Total co-funding from other Commonwealth government sources for grants approved
For example a spreadsheet similar to these columns and rows underneath.
Year, Month, State, Regional applications lodged, Metro applications lodged, Regional funding approved, Metro funding approved, State co-funding, Commonwealth co-funding
2016, September, WA, 2, 2, $500,000, $500,000, $100,000, $100,000
2016, September, NSW, 2, 0, $500,000, 0 $100,000, $50,000
...
2016, October, QLD, 0, 1, 0, $500,000, $50,000, $50,000
2016, October, NT, 2, 4, $500,000, $1,000,000, $100,000, 0
...
And so on until today.
Thanks,
Alby P.

Dear Freedom of Information,
I vehemently disagree with your assertion that my request for a specific grant application (Hunter Business Centre) is related to my broader inquiry into the outcomes of the incubator support program (FOI 66872).
My request for the Hunter Business Centre grant application is solely related to that particular grant commitment. It has no relation to the incubator program outcomes as a whole.
If it helps, I am happy to delay my second spreadsheet request until such time that FOI 66872 is completed, or if preferred, to combine the second spreadsheet request with FOI 66872 with a reasonable extension.
Please do not treat the Hunter Business Centre and FOI 66872 as one of the same.
Please respond in the affirmative at your earliest convenience, and in the alternative, please escalate this for an internal review. I will reach out to the OAIC personally.
Thanks,
Alby P.
Dear Alby
The department is agreeable to accept:
1. You delay submitting your second spreadsheet request until such time that FOI 66872 is completed; and
2. Your request regarding Hunter Business Centre will be accepted as a new request.
We also ask you considering agreeing to a 30 day extension for the processing of your request regarding Hunter Business Centre.
You will receive correspondence confirming the above shortly.

Dear Department of Industry, Innovation and Science,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/f...
I am writing to request an internal review of Department of Industry, Innovation and Science's handling of my FOI request 'Federal and state support of the incubator support initiative'.
The information about sources of funding for each of the ~50 approved applications is provided on ISI applications forms. Here is a link to the form (note section sources of funding):
https://www.business.gov.au/-/media/Gran...
It should be a straightforward task for the department to note the source of funding for ~50 approved applications.
