Dear Ms Mokrzycki
I refer to your email dated 13 May 2017 in which you requested information
under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (GIPA Act),
concerning “ all communication between Sutherland Shire Council and RVA
Australia PTY LTD and their associates”.
I apologise for the length of time it has taken to process your
application as I was hoping that the Court case between RVA Australia and
Council would have been finalised by now.
However, as an extension to the case has been provided by the court, I
have decided your application in relation to that information that is
currently available.
Under section 8 of the GIPA Act, I am authorised to release information
held by Council to a person in response to an informal request by the
person (that is, a request that is not an access application) unless there
is an overriding public interest against disclosure of the information.
In accordance with section 8 of the GIPA Act I can informally provide the
following documents to you in part satisfaction of your enquiry:
The information that is considered open access information and that
relates to the development applications lodged by RVA Australia, can be
released to you.
This information is now ready for viewing. Please contact me on 9710 0367
to arrange an appointment.
In relation to the remaining parts of your enquiry and as discussed with
you, information relating to the business affairs of RVA Australia and
information that is subject to legal professional privilege has not been
released to you.
If you require this information you will need to submit an application
under the GIPA Act. The application form is available on Councils website
at
It should be noted that the decision by the Court (link copied below) was
handed down on the 30 March 2017.
The applicant has requested and received an extension until the 30
September 2017 to provide documentation detailing approved access though
the National Park see second link below.
