Dear CR

 

Acknowledgement of your Freedom of Information Request No: LEX 32385

 

I refer to your request, received by the Department of Agriculture,
Fisheries and Forestry on 1 October 2024 for access to documents under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) made in the following terms:

‘‘I request access to the following documents under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982:

1. The most recent 30 notices of charges issued to FOI applicants.

For each of these 30 requests, if applicable, please also provide:

2. Any subsequent decisions regarding charges following applicant
contention.

3. Any subsequent decisions regarding charges following internal or
external review.

Please exclude the following information:

i) Personal information of FOI applicants.’

Your address

The FOI Act requires that you provide us with an address which we can send
notices to. You have advised your electronic address is
[1][FOI #12115 email]. We will send all notices
and correspondence to this address.

 

Please advise us as soon as possible if you wish for correspondence to be
sent to another address or if your address changes. If you do not advise
us of changes to your address, correspondence and notices will continue to
be sent to the address specified above.

 

Disclosure log

 

Please note that information released under the FOI Act may be published
in a disclosure log on the department's website. Section 11C of the FOI
Act requires this publication, however it is subject to certain
exceptions, including where publication of personal, business,
professional or commercial information would be unreasonable.

 

Exclusion of junior department employee details

 

The department is working towards ensuring that all employees have a
choice about whether they provide their full name and direct contact
details in response to public enquiries. Where such details are included
in the scope of a request, this may add to processing time and applicable
charges as it may be necessary to consider whether the details are exempt
under the FOI Act. On this basis, unless you tell us otherwise, we will
assume that these details are out of scope of your request and they will
be redacted under section 22 of the FOI Act.

 

Further assistance

 

If you have any questions please email [2][email address].

 

Regards,

FOI Contact Officer | Legal Division
