Dear CR

 

I refer to your request of 9 September 2024, whereby you made a request
for the following documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the
FOI Act):

 

On 31 August 2024, a Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18F Super Hornet, a
C-17A Globemaster III, and two Australian Army Tiger armed reconnaissance
helicopters conducted flypasts and flying displays as part of the Brisbane
Festival Riverfire event.

The ADF also conducted practice flights for this event on 29 and 30 August
2024.

 

I request access to the following documents under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982:

1.            All clearance and approval documents granted for this event
and practice runs.

2.            Safety and operational guidelines that were in place for the
event and practice runs.

 

I acknowledge receipt of your request under the FOI Act. CASA
received your request on 9 September 2024 and the 30-day statutory period
for processing your request commenced from the day after that date. You
should therefore expect a decision by COB Wednesday, 9 October 2024.
However, the period of 30 days may be extended if CASA needs to consult
third parties or for other reasons. CASA will advise you if this
happens. Should the timeframe be extended, you will be notified by CASA
with the new due date. Your above request has been assigned the reference
number F24/28003, please use this reference number in future
correspondence relating to your above request.

 

You will be notified of any charges in relation to your request as soon as
possible, before we process any requested documents or impose a final
charge. CASA’s practice is to release documents in pdf format transmitted
via email to your nominated email address. Please advise if you wish a
different communication method – additional charges may apply.

 

When CASA has made a decision about your FOI request, we will send you a
letter explaining our decision and your review and appeal rights.
