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
