Dear verifysp,

Council does not accept your email below as an Informal GIPA request as
there are insufficient details to deal with this or to identify you – plus
as third party consultation may be required there is a argument that this
should be applied for via a Formal GIPA request – see information on
[1]Council’s website in relation to this.

In addition to this, we suggest that you redirect this request to either
the State or Federal Government to access this information, as it is their
information you appear to be seeking and we would likely transfer any GIPA
request from you to them (under sections 44/45 of the GIPA Act) to respond
to in any event.

Regards,

Central Coast Council

Subject: Government Information (Public Access) request - Documents
pertaining to or giving evidence in support of wearing face masks from
state or federal sources

[EXTERNAL EMAIL] Do not click any links or attachments unless you have

please report this to I&T Service Desk via the Portal.

Dear Central Coast Council (NSW),

I am requesting documents under the Freedom of Information Act that are
containing: instructions, notices, evidence to support, in regards to the
wearing of face masks by your internal staff and public that was sent to
you from either the State or Federal Authorities in 2021

*Notes*: to keep the scope of the docs requested reasonable see below.

- by docs I am referring to communications ie emails, memos, minutes of
decision meeting, guides, Q&A. that I expect your offices would be sent
due to virus outbreak.

Such Docs would have been used to convey following info and directive or
policy

WHAT the State & Federal Authority wants you to do regarding mask wearing
WHY include evidence & reason why staff and/or public should obey mask
mandate.

WHO these docs should show where they originated and be ideally dated also
WHEN I am only after those docs covering this 2021 delta variant covid19
outbreak EXCEPTION - and finally what is permitted as Exceptions for staff
and public including any advice on who is bearing responsibility should
any legal claim arise from staff or public suffering harm from
mask-wearing (risk management)

Given the ever growing global studies and verifiable results that
repeatedly demonstrate that there is no scientific medical justification
for enforced mask wearing. It is certainly reasonable that the public know
what, precisely, the state and federal authorities communicated with your
offices in regards to facemasks.

As it appears currently to have zero effect slowing the outbreak but does
have negative health & mental impacts, I hope for a swift response.

Yours faithfully,

verifysp
