HR delegations
Dear Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment,
Under the FOI Act I request a copy of your HR delegations. By 'HR delegations' I mean any instrument of delegation under the Public Service Act 1999 and subordinate legislation including the PS Regulations, PS Commissioner's Directions etc.
I do not require any personal information within those documents. You may redact any personal names from the document(s). It should therefore be unnecessary for you to consult third parties under section 47F of the FOI Act.
Yours faithfully,
Ms Sunny Day
Dear Ms Sunny Day
Acknowledgement of your Freedom of Information Request No: LEX 26140
I refer to your request received by the Department of Agriculture, Water
and the Environment (department) on 27 February 2022 for access to
documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) made in the
following terms:
‘Under the FOI Act I request a copy of your HR delegations. By 'HR
delegations' I mean any instrument of delegation under the Public Service
Act 1999 and subordinate legislation including the PS Regulations, PS
Commissioner's Directions etc.
I do not require any personal information within those documents. You may
redact any personal names from the document(s). It should therefore be
unnecessary for you to consult third parties under section 47F of the FOI
Act.’
Your address
The FOI Act requires that you provide us with an address which we can send
notices to. You have advised your electronic address is Elmer Fudd
[1][FOI #8527 email] . We will send all notices
and correspondence to this address.
Please advise us as soon as possible if you wish correspondence to be sent
to another address or if your address changes. If you do not advise us of
changes to your address, correspondence and notices will continue to be
sent to the address specified above.
Disclosure log
Please note that information released under FOI Act may be published in a
disclosure log on the department's website. Section 11C of the FOI Act
requires this publication, however it is subject to certain exceptions,
including where publication of personal, business, professional or
commercial information would be unreasonable.
Exclusion of junior department employee details
The department is working towards ensuring that all employees have a
choice about whether they provide their full name and direct contact
details in response to public enquiries. Where such details are included
in the scope of a request, this may add to processing time and applicable
charges as it may be necessary to consider whether the details are exempt
under the FOI Act. On this basis, unless you tell us otherwise, we will
assume that these details are out of scope of your request and they will
be redacted under section 22 of the FOI Act.
Further assistance
If you have any questions please email [2][AWE request email].
Kind regards
