Dear Lismore City Council,
Under Lismore Councils Smoke free areas policy as published on your website smoking is prohibited within the Lismore CBD.
Reference https://www.lismore.nsw.gov.au/files/ass...

Pursuant to section 41 of the GIPA Act I apply for access to the following government information:

The number of fines issued by Lismore Council for smoking within the CBD area declared in this policy in the last twelve 12 months. (October 2024 - October 2025)

Furthermore, I also request that all fees and charges associated with this application be waived as Section 66 of the GIPA Act (and the associated guideline) allows for a discount of processing charges where the information sought is “of special benefit to the public generally. In the IPCs own guidelines public health is an explicitly declared example of a 'special benefit', of which this request covers.

Yours faithfully,
Nathan Jenkins
