Hi Amanda,

Thanks for your email.

I can advise ARTC is not bound by public information obligations of the
FOI Act / GIPAs etc. Information and correspondence, we share with State
and Federal Departments does typically get released however (unless
grounds under the Act to object to).

While we typically might only receive a handful FOIs per year, these are
likely to grow in number as are the public transparency expectations on us
to provide more detail and address these fulsomely.

Our approach is to consider the requests on balance and act in the public
interest, particularly where public funding of projects is involved. Based
on this principle where it is possible, we will gather information and
provide an appropriate response where it doesn’t present specific legal,
commercial or other issues.

Kind regards,

Gemma
