Dear Yann

The Department of Home Affairs (the Department) has received your request
for data of 09 February 2024. Your reference number for this request is
DA24/02/00085

The Department has interpreted your request as follows:

·         I would like to request the number of applications waiting to be
allocated to the Citizenship ceremony (who have been approved but are now
waiting to be allocated to a ceremony) at Blacktown City council, Greater
Sydney NSW.

 

If we have misinterpreted your request, please let us know by emailing
[1][Department of Home Affairs request email] quoting the above reference number so we can
reassess your request.

Charge for access

The Department has calculated that a charge of $30.00 is required for your
request.

Next Steps

You can now choose to:

·         pay the attached invoice for your request to proceed;

·         email [2][Department of Home Affairs request email] to tell us if your request has
been incorrectly interpreted; or

·         email [3][Department of Home Affairs request email] to tell us if you wish to
withdraw your request.

 

Your request will not be processed until you take one of these actions.

Please note: if you do not respond by 26 February your request will be

If you believe that paying the charge for access would result in financial
hardship to you, you can request a waiver or reduction of the charge.
Please set out the reasons you believe that you would experience financial
hardship and provide supporting evidence.

An example of financial hardship would be when payment of the charge would
leave you unable to provide food, accommodation, clothing, medical
treatment, education or other necessities for yourself or your family, or
other people for whom you are responsible.

Your request for a waiver or reduction of charge will be considered, and a
response sent to you within 30 business days. Further information on
