Red Chief Local Aboriginal Land Council | Administration Report
Dear NSW Office of the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983,
As a member of the Red Chief Local Aboriginal Land Council, I request a copy of the Investigation Report.
I am re-sending my information request as I have still not received a response or acknowledgement receipt to my original query sent to you on Monday January 16 at 8:00 AM—[email address].
Kind regards,
Dean

Dear Mr Foley
I refer to your email below dated 20 January 2023, requesting a copy of an investigation report relating to the Red Chief Local Aboriginal Land Council from the Office of the Registrar, Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (NSW) ('Office of the Registrar').
Please note that applications to access government information held by the Office of the Registrar are required by the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (NSW) ('GIPA Act') to be made directly to the Department of Premier and Cabinet Information and Privacy Unit, which is responsible for processing those applications. Further information about making an application to access information held by the Office of the Registrar is available here - https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo....
Once you have made an application through the Department of Premier and Cabinet's Information and Privacy Unit, public interest considerations (including the release of individuals' personal information and any privilege attaching to the investigation report) will be taken into account in deciding whether the information can be released to you.
I note that your earlier email dated 16 January 2023, and your request for information contained in that email, was addressed to Mr Tim Gumbleton (the current administrator of Red Chief Local Aboriginal Land Council), not to the Office of the Registrar. As such, we have not responded to that email.
Kind regards
Rochelle

The Office of the Registrar stands on Aboriginal land. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land and we show our respect for Elders past, present and emerging through thoughtful and collaborative approaches to our work, seeking to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to supporting the return of land to Aboriginal people as compensation for past dispossession; and to support self-determination through participation and representation in the land council network.
