Subject: Government Information (Public Access) request - 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,

The NSW Food Authority can be contacted to assist you in your request for information as the Authority collects certain statistical information from NSW Councils that may be of relevance to your request.

If further detailed information is required then a Formal Access Application should be completed and returned to Council so that your information request can be processed in accordance with legislative requirements under the GIPAA 2009. The basis for a Formal Application in this instance is, but not limited to, diversion of Council's resources e.g. time to compile, collate, verify and validate the data. Further information in relation to access applications is contained in the attached fact sheet and link pertaining to the diversion of resources http://www.ipc.nsw.gov.au/unreasonable-a... from the Information and Privacy Commission NSW.

The $30 fee counts towards the first hour of processing with additional processing fee at $30 per hour.

Kind Regards,

Mary

Dear Mary,

I am happy to take information from just Ashfield council's area or the inner west as an amalgamated council depending which, is easier for you.

Other councils have treated my request in accordance with section 8 of the GIPA Act, as an informal request to access information.

Why has your council decided to treat it as a formal request?

Yours sincerely,

Nigel Gladstone
