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

Hello Nigel,

Thank you for the email. Would you please make a formal application for access to this information. It will take a little time to search and compile based on your email request.

A formal application found on pages 9 and 10 of the Access to Information Policy linked below should be lodged with the payment of the $30 fee. This will provide one hour of time to search records and compile the response. If additional time is required I will inform you prior to that work being undertaken.

I am pleased to talk with you should you have any questions in relation to your request.

Dear Tim Johnston,

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.

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 any paper work as it is an informal request.

Yours sincerely,

Nigel Gladstone

Tim Johnston, Mid-Western Regional Council

Nigel, thank you. Yes I started a discussion internally and have been informed that the information is already compiled for the reasons you have stated. I will manage it as an informal GIPA and come back to you asap. After this afternoons national disruption!

Nigel,

Please refer to the attached xls file.

We are withholding the 2015/16 data on advice of the NSW Food Authority. Once they have published their report we will then make it available.

Happy to discuss as required.
