The statutory period for processing your request is 30 calendar days commencing from the day after the day the request for received, in this case 10 May 2024.

However, if your request captures documents that contains information concerning the business, commercial or financial affairs of another organisation or individual (third party), Airservices is required to consult with these third parties concerned before deciding on the release of those documents: see section 27 of the FOI Act.

Dear Ms Minnucci

I write in regard to your request for documents relating to previously installed Noise Monitors in Primrose Sands and Connelly's Marsh TAS.

I have been advised that Airservices has a contractual relationship with a third party for the provision of noise monitoring services. As a result, I am in consultation with the relevant business areas regarding the searches for relevant documents.

The current due date for your request is Friday 7 June 2024. Due to the number of requests currently being processed by Airservices and the work involved in locating all relevant documents we may not be able to finalise your request by the original due date.

Airservices seeks your agreement (under s.15AA of the FOI Act) to extend the timeframe for the processing of your request by 7 days. This would extend the due date for your request to 14 June 2024.

Please let me know if you would like to discuss.

Kind regards
Ben

Dear Ms Minucci

I write further to your FOI request FOI 24-39 which requested:

“all documents that directly related to the previously installed Noise
Monitors in Primrose Sands and Connelly's Marsh TAS.  This would include
location, supplier, calibration levels, actual noise data, results and
findings that were used in ASA's decision making for these areas.”

I am still actioning this requesting and sourcing relevant documentation
from my internal stakeholders.  Unfortunately, one of those stakeholders
(who’s input I need to action this request) has been on leave.

Accordingly, I am not going to be in a position to issue an access
decision before the due date (which is today) and write to seek your
agreement to a 21-day extension for the processing of this request.  The
revised due date would be, 8 July 2024.

Please can you confirm your agreement to this extension of time by return.

Of course, if I can action your request before this time I will do so.

Regards

I am still liaising with my colleagues in respect of your request (which

Please note, we also have on file two email addresses from you which are

appropriate one to use?
