Dear Shauna Villis,

I have received this information from another council without filling in any forms or paying any fees. I have also made the request informally and at other councils they are processing it without the need for any forms.

Why does your council require an access for information form?

Yours sincerely,

Nigel Gladstone

Dear Mr Gladstone

I write to you in response to your question regarding Council's requirement for you to complete and submit an access to information form.

Section 8(2) of the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 states that "An agency can release government information in response to an informal request subject to any reasonable conditions that the agency thinks fit to impose".

Council's requirement for a form is an administrative requirement which it considers reasonable under section 8(2) of the Act.

I hope this is of assistance to you.
Kind Regards
Shauna

Dear Shauna Villis,

How are you going with the request i made on Thursday, November 24, 2016 at 9:35am?
Can I please clarify that I want to know how many high and medium risk food businesses were inspected in each year (2013/14, 2014/15, 2015/16) and what percentage of the total number of these were inspected in each year, how many warnings, formal improvement notices and fines were issued in each year? How many outlets were shut down each year, if any?

Yours sincerely,

Nigel Gladstone
