Dear Public Transport Victoria,

Dear Public Transport Victoria,

Can I please get access to the following documents under the FOI Act?

1) Documents relating to illegal parking (specifically cars parking on the
shared pedestrian/bike paths) at Tarneit station for the period between
1/2/2017 - 3/2/2018.

2) Documents stating that v-line staff are not allowed to take complaints,
feedback, provide their name, or assist in incidents involving a member of
the public.

3) Documents stating that v-line staff have no duty of care for members of
the public using their services.

4) CCTV footage between 09:10 and 09:30 showing a cyclist being forced off
the bike path in front of a bus after turning into the station off
Derrimutt Road.

5) Documents relating to which organisation is responsible for maintaining
the access roads and shared paths.

Please treat this as a formal FOI request not an administrative request.

Yours faithfully,

Adam Beames

Dear Public Transport Victoria,

Thanks for your response.
Under the Act, requests made via email are valid so posting my request is
not required.
Please wave fees and charges on the grounds that this informations is in
the public interest.

Failing that, please provide an internal reference number for this request
and I'll submit a copy of my health care card via direct email.  I'm
unable to provide a copy here as a health care card contains PII.

Yours faithfully,

Adam Beames
