Dear D Browns
 
Acknowledgement of Freedom of Information Request No: LEX 76544
 
We refer to your request received by the Department of Climate Change,
Energy, the Environment and Water on 11 March 2024 for access to documents
under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) made in the following
terms:
 
‘Under the FOI act I am requesting copies of correspondence, including
emails, between the departments Zero Industries division and the Seadragon
wind farm or Star of the south windfarm, which discuss or comment on the
current environmental assessments for these projects. For the purpose on
this request the request is limited to correspondence during the months of
December to 2023, January 2024, and February 2024.’
 
Your address
 
The FOI Act requires that you provide us with an address which we can send
notices to. You have advised your electronic address is
[1][FOI #11223 email]. We will send all notices
and correspondence to this address.
 
Please advise us as soon as possible if you wish correspondence to be sent
to another address or if your address changes. If you do not advise us of
changes to your address, correspondence and notices will continue to be
sent to the address specified above.
 
Disclosure log
 
Please note that information released under FOI Act may be published in a
disclosure log on the department's website. Section 11C of the FOI Act
requires this publication, however it is subject to certain exceptions,
including where publication of personal, business, professional or
commercial information would be unreasonable.
 
Exclusion of junior department employee details
 
The department is working towards ensuring that all employees have a
choice about whether they provide their full name and direct contact
details in response to public enquiries. Where such details are included
in the scope of a request, this may add to processing time and applicable
charges as it may be necessary to consider whether the details are exempt
under the FOI Act. On this basis, unless you tell us otherwise, we will
assume that these details are out of scope of your request and they will
be deleted under section 22 of the FOI Act.
 
Further assistance
 
If you have any questions, please email [2][email address].
 
Kind regards
