Hello Mr Callary,

Thank you for your email.

There are a number of requirements under the SA Freedom of Information Act 1991 which applicants must meet in order for an application to be considered valid. The online application form can be found at https://www.sa.gov.au/topics/about-sa/go....

There is an application fee of $39 or if you have a current concession card the fees can be waived.

Under Section 13(d) of the FOI Act, we would also require additional information to be able to locate the document/s you are requesting.

Your email states that you are seeking:
"recovery of maintenance repairs" - very broad, insufficient detail to identify the document/s you are requesting.
"how often are inspections done on properties" - Information about home visits can be found at: https://www.housing.sa.gov.au/about-us/p...
"a mount spent on repairs.. in particular the area of Ceduna 5690" - again, very broad, perhaps a date range, insufficient detail to identify the document/s you are after.

Additional statistical information on SA Government agencies is located at https://data.sa.gov.au/.

Excerpt from SA Freedom of Information Act 1991:
13-Applications for access to agencies' documents
An application for access to an agency's document-
(a) must be in writing; and
(b) must specify that it is made under this Act; and
(c) must be accompanied by such application fee as may be prescribed; and
(d) must contain such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the
document to be identified; and
(e) must specify an address in Australia to which notices under this Act should be
sent; and
(f) must be lodged at an office of the agency, and may request that access to the
document be given in a particular way
