Dear Andrew de Montemas,

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 as you have pointed out.
Lane Cove council had this in their document management system but if you do not have a copy of it, you can request it from the food authority and they will email it back to you.

Unfortunately, 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 more than two dozen councils now without the need for a GIPA or any paper work as it is an informal request.

Yours sincerely,

Nigel Gladstone

Hi Nigel,
My question was what is your timeframe? I haven't asked you to complete an access or informal GIPA request. Our EHO made mention of that, however I simply want to know when you need the information, as the EHO is on leave and so is the Manager.

Regards
Andrew

Hi Nigel
I will be on leave for 5 weeks from today. The report needs to come from our EHO who isn't back until Feb, or from the Manager. I will ensure they know to respond to you ASAP.
