Hi Andrew,

Julie M has noted if you could please send a response that requires the applicant to apply for a freedom of information request.

I do not know how to access the information and am not sure if anyone else would until at least Paul is back from leave on the 13th of December.

Julie is on leave until the end of January/early February.

Cheers,

Alan

Dear Andrew de Montemas,

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 as you have pointed out.
Lane Cove council had this in their document management system but if you do not have a copy of it, you can request it from the food authority and they will email it back to you.

Unfortunately, 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 more than two dozen councils now without the need for a GIPA or any paper work as it is an informal request.

Yours sincerely,

Nigel Gladstone

Hi Nigel,
My question was what is your timeframe? I haven't asked you to complete an access or informal GIPA request. Our EHO made mention of that, however I simply want to know when you need the information, as the EHO is on leave and so is the Manager.

Regards
Andrew
