Dear Innerwest Council,
I'm compiling the food authority information for all councils in NSW to show how many places they are inspecting, what percentage of outlets get inspected each year and how many warnings, formal improvement notices and fines are issued.
The data will be put into an interactive map to show which will show areas have the most food outlets, and how often they get inspected etc. I have been working with the NSW Food Authority who are supportive of this project. The more councils provide their data the better picture we get of food safety in NSW.
Can I please clarify that I want to know how many high and medium risk food businesses were inspected in each year (2013/14, 2014/15, 2015/16) and what percentage of these were inspected in each year.
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.
Some councils have 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. I am happy to go through the forms myself to get the information as several other councils have sent it to me.
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 40 councils now without the need for a formal GIPA.
I would also like to know how many formal improvement notices were issued in each year.
Yours sincerely,
Nigel Gladstone

Hi Nigel,
I'm consulting with our Senior Environmental Health Officer - Monitoring Services.
I'll be in touch with you in early January due to the upcoming public holidays and Council grant days.
Kind Regards,

Dear Jennifer Robinson,
I've not heard from anyone yet, and it's now February? I sent the request in October last year.
Yours sincerely,
Nigel Gladstone
Hi Nigel,
I can see that you logged two enquires, one in October and one in December. The one logged in October was responded to by my colleague from the Ashfield Service Centre (Quinton Kohler).
Regarding the enquiry from December - apologies, we've had a number of staff on leave over the holidays/school holiday period. Our environmental health officer has spoken to
The NSW Food Authority and we believe that is the correct organisation to pursue this with. Alternatively, you may lodge a Formal Access Application and we will consider making the requested data available.
Kind Regards,
Jennifer Robinson | Governance Officer

Dear Jennifer Robinson,
If I put in a media request for this information, would that change things?
Yours sincerely,

Hi Nigel,
No, it wouldn't change anything. Media frequently lodge Formal Access Applications for information.

Dear Marrickville Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews for the inner west council and attach it to the other requests i made.
I am writing to request an internal review of Marrickville Council's handling of my FOI request 'Food safety inspections for the years 2014, 2015, 2016'.
I have received this information from the vast majority of councils in NSW without the need for a formal GIPA.
All the request asks for is contained in a single report provided to the NSW food authority annually, there is no need to search records as it can be obtained via an email to the food authority asking for it.
I have offered to extract the informaion myself so it does not take up any staff resources apart from sending an email or two.
I think it is unreasonable to request $30 for information that regional and other city councils have freely provided as well as the fact it will take very little time to do.
For your reference here is the list of councils who have provided the information so far:
Hills Shire Council
Sutherland Shire Council
Penrith Council
Blacktown City Council
Wollongong City Council
City of Parramatta Council
Newcastle City Council
Randwick City Council
