Good morning

I refer to your request for access to documents held by the Department of
Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the
Arts (the Department) under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act).

Notification of Third-Party Consultation and Extension of Time

Your request captures documents which contain another individual’s
personal information and information concerning the business, commercial
or financial affairs or an organisation, or a person’s business or
profession affairs. Under section 27A and section 27 of the FOI Act, the
Department is required to consult with the affected person or
organisation before making a decision on access to those documents.

For this reason, the period for processing your request has been extended
by 30 days under section 15(6) of the FOI Act in order to allow the
Department time to consult with the relevant person or organisation. As
such, the statutory due date for your request is now 1 January 2025.

The consultation mechanism under section 27A applies when we believe the
individual (or their representative) may wish to contend that the
requested documents are exempt for reasons of personal privacy.

The consultation mechanism under section 27 applies when we believe the
person or organisation concerned may wish to contend that the requested
documents are exempt because their release would disclose trade secrets or
commercially valuable information or may adversely affect their business
or financial affairs.

Kind regards
