Dear Dr Plumridge,
RE: Freedom of
Information Internal Review 313-15
Ms Delany has asked me to contact you in relation to the internal review she is conducting on the initial decision made in relation to your Freedom of Information application (reference 27-15).
Under the Freedom of Information Act 1995, the prescribed time period for reviewing a Notice of Decision on an access application is 15 days. Unfortunately the Easter holiday has hampered the progression of the review. As you will appreciate, many people take leave at this time of year because of the school holidays. This combined with the public holidays has meant Ms Delany has not been able to consult with all of the people she has needed to during the review process.
Ms Delany would like the outcome of review notice to provide you with more information as to the why certain material or documents are exempt and the Department’s rationale behind the decisions made. For documents that are exempt, she wishes to provide you with more detailed descriptions of them in an updated document schedule, so you have a better understanding of what they are and where they fit in the processes undertaken in relation to the Shire of York. Each document is being re-examined and assessed in terms of access exemption. She has also noted the specific issues you have raised and would like to spend more time considering them.
In order to ensure that the review is as thorough as possible, I am asking if you would be willing to extend the deadline for completion of the review until 24 April.
Regards,
Kingsley Joy
