Dear Mr Townsend,
I write in relation to your freedom of information request FOI2017/18-88.
The relevant document (video footage) contains personal and business
information of third parties.
To inform the decision on release of documents, the Freedom of Information
Act 1982 (FOI Act) requires that the third parties are consulted, and
provides a further time period for the consultation process. Subsection
15(6) of the FOI Act extends the standard statutory 30‑day time limit for
processing requests by another 30 calendar days. Accordingly, this will
give the department 60 calendar days within which to notify you of its
decision on access to the documents.

I have said that the request was refused. In fact the applicant did not respond to a request by the authority to limit the scope of the request. Because the applicant did not do this, the request is taken to have been withdrawn by the applicant. --- Deemed withdrawal under s 24AB of the FOI Act.
