Hi Christopher,
Apologies for the delay in responding to your email below.
We received a response from the Department's Digital & Marketing team who advised that an IP licence over the typeface is available for a very specific and limited purpose only. Unfortunately, an IP licence is not available in your circumstance.
If you wish to proceed with your FOI request, we require a payment of $32.70 or evidence or reason why payment of fees would cause you financial hardship (e.g. a copy of your current pensioner’s/healthcare concession card). Please lodge your FOI request online at https://online.foi.vic.gov.au and selecting “Department of Transport” as the agency.
Note that an FOI request for the Network Type family download file will automatically be denied pursuant to section 34(4)(a)(i) of the FOI Act. The Department’s Digital team advised that the typeface is subject to copyright and the download file is a trademark of the Department.
If you have questions, please contact me by responding to this email.
Sincerely,
Mary
