Otherwise, please consider this a request under the FOI Act.
Can you please provide all information relating to documents for "cloud seeding" throughout Queensland. Including all documents for air traffic reports, dates and times, contractors and expenses for these operations but not limited to. These are the white colored clouds seen early morning and late afternoon protruding from the rear of aeroplanes. These trails may be short or long across the skies.

Good Afternoon Dave,
Thank you for your email dated 11 November 2019, to the Department of Transport and Main Roads (the department).
I note you are seeking all documents held the department relating to “Cloud seeding” throughout Queensland, including all documents for air traffic reports, dates and times, contractors and expenses for these operations.
For your assistance, enquiries were made with the department’s Engineering and Technology Branch and also the department’s Environment, Cultural Heritage and Corridor Management team.
As a result, I have been advised that the department does not hold any records responsive to your request.
In this case, as the department does not hold the information you are seeking, you may wish to direct your enquiry to another agency.
Kind regards
RTI and Privacy Coordinator | RTI, Privacy and Complaints Management
Governance Branch | Corporate Division | Department of Transport and Main Roads
