Dear Local Council,

Can you please provide me with the number of food safety inspections carried out in your area annually, for the last three years?

How many warning were issued each year and how many fines each year?

What percentage of all food outlets did the council inspect each year?

Have any outlets been shut down for non-compliance and if so what for and how many?

What were the worst offences/biggest fines for each year?

Yours faithfully,

Nigel Gladstone

Dear Council,

This request is very simple as all the information I am asking for is contained in an annual report all councils provide to the NSW food Authority. The food authority send an email form each year and it is emailed back to them. Lane Cove council had it in their document management system but if you do not you can request it from the food authority and they will email it back to you.

The Food authority will not release the forms as it is third party information so I have to request it from all councils individually. I have already received this information from several councils without the need for a GIPA or any paper work as it is an informal request.

Yours sincerely,

Nigel Gladstone

Dear Angie Samardzic,

Can I please clarify a couple of things with this information? How many medium and high-risk food businesses were inspected in each year and what percentage of them was this? Also how many Formal Improvement notices were issued?

I am happy to pull the number out of the firm you send to the food authority if you send them to me.

I apologise my request was not clearer in the first instance.

Yours sincerely,

Nigel Gladstone
