Copy of Lease between Parks Victoria and Melbourne Water for Aura Vale Lake, Menzies Creek
Dear Parks Victoria,
I respectfully request a copy of the lease between Parks Victoria and Melbourne Water relating to Aura Vale Lake
Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Alexander
We refer to your correspondence dated 10 October 2021 in which you sought
access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act).
Application Fee
Section 17(2A) of the FOI Act requires that an application fee of $30.10
accompany a request for access to documents. This fee was not provided
with your request.
Should you wish Parks Victoria to proceed with the processing of your
request, please forward payment by either:
· Visa/Mastercard credit card payment (by phone on 8427 2001, Monday
to Friday between 8.00am and 1.00pm). For your own protection, please do
not email credit card details; or
· Cheque or Money Order sent to our mailing address: Parks Victoria,
Level 10, 535 Bourke Street, Melbourne Vic 3000.
If you consider payment would cause you hardship you may ask for a waiver
or reduction of the fee. Please state your reasons in writing and provide
any evidence that you believe supports your claim, such as a copy of your
current Health Care Card or Pension Card, if applicable. Please note that
a waiver is only applicable to the application fee. Access charges will
still apply to your request. If you are making a request on behalf of an
organisation, hardship waivers are not applicable.
Additional details
As your request was not submitted on the Parks Victoria Freedom of
Information (FOI) request form, there are additional administrative
details we require for your request. Please make a selection from each of
the items in the table below.
