Food safety inspections for the years 2014, 2015, 2016
Dear Local Council,
Can you please provide me with the number of food safety inspections carried out in your area annually, for the last three years?
How many warning were issued each year and how many fines each year?
What percentage of all food outlets did the council inspect each year?
Have any outlets been shut down for non-compliance and if so what for and how many?
What were the worst offences/biggest fines for each year?
Yours faithfully,
Nigel Gladstone
Dear Nigel
I refer to your request for information in relation to food safety inspections below and the correspondence posted on your website between Wollongong City Council (WCC) and yourself in relation to this request. I understand that the NSW Food Authority may be the most appropriate agency to respond to your request. Can you please confirm if we need to respond to your request?
Thanks

Dear Sonya Stewart,
The Food authority will not release the forms as it is third party information so I have to request it from all councils individually. I have already received this information from several councils without the need for a GIPA or paperwork as it is an informal request. Can you please inform Wollongong as I had previously thought I could get the info from the food authority.
This request is very simple as all the information I am asking for is contained in an annual report all councils provide to the NSW food Authority. The food authority send an email form each year and it is emailed back to them. Lane Cove council had it in their document management system but if you do not you can request it from the food authority and they will email it back to you. It took about ten minutes to collate the information I am asking for according to other councils.
Yours sincerely,
Nigel Gladstone
