Dear NSW Department of Planning and Environment,
I put in a request for information on 3rd June and I have not had any response from yourself about it.
This was to access all agreements, determinations, approvals or directions made by the Secretary of the Department of Planning, in relation to any of the conditions listed in the Infrastructure approval documents for the WestConnex M4 East.
Could you please let me know what the status of this request is.
Yours faithfully,
Pratichi Chatterjee

Dear Amber,
Many thanks for your email.
I cannot locate all of the information online. On the NSW planning website for the M4 there are 3 modifications, and their determinations listed, please see http://majorprojects.planning.nsw.gov.au...
Please consider this an informal request for all of the agreements, determinations, approvals or directions made by the Secretary of the Department of Planning, in relation to any of the conditions listed in the Infrastructure approval documents for the WestConnex M4.
I will call tomorrow to clarify some items.
Yours sincerely,
Pratichi Chatterjee

Mostly I classify a response like this one to say "clarification requested" because the agency has told the applicant that some more information (and money!) is needed before the request will be processed. This time, I have put the response in the category of "refused" because it is two months when the agency has responded and the applicant has not made a follow-up. This does not mean that the agency will refuse the request when an application is made in the correct (required) way and although I have made the classification of "refused", the applicant can use this same request page if he wishes to pursue the request.
