Dear NSW Office of Local Government,

Re: Liverpool City Council - interim report for public inquiry

Application

This is an access application pursuant to Government Information (Public Access) Act ("GIPA") made using special public benefit platform Right To Know ("RTK")

All the applications, responses and any generated information is published automatically to public at wide and remains the property of - we the public or people of New South Wales.

Fees / Charges

Please waive the application fee pursuant to s. 66 and s.51 of GIPA Act

GIPA s.66(2) provides that the fee is to be waived if the information was not in publcly available priori and given Right To Know autotomatically publishes the received informaton.

Alternatively provide a payment mechanism for 50% reduced fee pursuant to s.66

GIPA Act

A consideration must be given case-by-case basis to the fees and not institute a blanket determination of the deposit or a fee. An agency should not institute a general fee without case-by-case consideration.

Informal or Formal

If the waiver does not apply please also consider if you would be willing to release this information informally under the GIPA given this information should be in existing benchmark statistics.

Access Request

Please provide the copy of the interim report as part of the public inquiry to the affairs of Liverpool City Council - as part of Section 430 of the Local Government Act 1993 in relation to Liverpool City Council.

This information falls under the GIPA Act and I believe the recent judgement of Liverpool City Council v Minister for Local Government and Ors [2024] NSWLEC 94 clarifies you can publish it and GIPA provides you can redact any staff identities if required.

Yours faithfully,
