Dear Ms Minnucci

Ben Ackhurst is no longer with Airservices and I am currently reviewing
our current FOI requests.

Please note that the FOI Act provides a right of access to existing
documents, rather than to information. The FOI Act does not require an
agency to create a new document in response to a request for access.

Accordingly, your request

“Q: Could I please obtain the total “actual” number of survey respondents
(not in percentages) sorted for each Community and filtered by NAP Option
1, Option 2, Option 3, Option 4 and Option 5.”

Is not a valid request for documents under the FOI Act, and we are unable
to process it further. For the avoidance of doubt, if the request was
processed it would return a ‘access refused’ decision on the basis that no
documents exist.

I am happy to process a request which falls within the ambit of the FOI
Act, but confirm we are unable to process this request further. In these
circumstances, I am closing our file in this matter.

Dear Ms Minucci

Thank you for your email.

Your request was for 'actual number of survey respondents (not in
percentages) sorted for each Community and filtered by NAP Option 1,
Option 2, Option 3, Option 4 and Option 5' (my highlights).

I confirm my earlier advice that Airservices does not have a document
which responds to this request.

However, I have discussed your request further with my colleagues and can
offer the following alternative; that you amend your request (which
Airservices will accept as a new FOI request) for the "Survey Responses -
Survey: Noise Abatement Procedure options May 2019 – Dec 2022". This
document will provide you with the individual survey responses as recorded
by the engagement platform which were used in compiling the various charts
and table as previously disclosed to you.

Once in receipt of this document you will be able to process / sort the
data into your desired formats.

Such a request can be actioned and will provide you with the information
which I believe you are seeking, although not in the format / presentation
of data which you have requested (given that such a document does not
exist).

As a reminder, the purpose of the Freedom of Information Act is to provide
access to documents not information.

Hopefully, this suggestion is an acceptable solution to your request.

Please let me know if you would like to proceed on this basis.

Dear MBX FOI,

With due respect Marcus,

Data for the inputs on ASA’s tables does exist – ASA used this data when
presenting the narrative that makes up the NAP Summary Report.

The fact ASA have chosen to publish in % not numbers should not preclude
this FOI request.

Awaiting the information requested.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Ms Minucci

Thank you for your email.

I have no information as to why the document is entitled as it is.

However, I can see the survey responses were obtained between the
following dates:

"14 November 2022 - December 11 2022."

This is consistent with the period is referenced in paragraph 2 'Community
Engagement' (Page 2 / 34) of the document titled 'Hobart Airport Noise
Abatement Procedure (NAP) trial proposal - Flight Path Design Outcome
Assessment Outcome' released to you as part of our response to FOI 23-39
and I also confirm that I have been advised that this document is the raw
survey results which were used to create the figures and charts in the
document (including Figure 4 RWY30 Arrival NAP Survey Results by Location
(page 4/34).

I believe this is the information you are looking for. Please confirm
that you are happy for me to process an FOI request on your behalf in
respect of this document.

For the avoidance of doubt, if you press your request for "As mentioned,
please provide the document for the actual number of survey respondents
(not in percentages) sorted for each Community and filtered by NAP Option
1, Option 2, Option 3, Option 4 and Option 5'." this will result in an
access refusal decision on the basis that no documents exist (see s24A FOI
Act). As I have mentioned previously, the purpose of Freedom of
Information is to provide access to existing documents held by a
Commonwealth Agency. As I have advised, we do not have an existing
document which responds to the request as you have framed it, and it is
not the function of freedom of information function to create a document
in the manner you are proposing.

The data that you will access through the raw survey responses (should you
choose to lodge and FOI request for them) will, I believe, allow you to
undertake this activity should you wish to do so.

I am trying to be as helpful as possible to facilitate your request. What
I am proposing will give you to the document you require to determine the
relevant information you are seeking.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear MBX FOI,

Thank you, Marcus

If you could provide the required information that would be appreciated.

BUT I NOTE THE FOLLOWING: ...not exactly sure why your suggested NAP
Survey document covers 'May 2019 – Dec 2022' as the actual NAP Survey was
undertaken FOLLOWING the community meetings in November/ December 2022.

Your document Hobart Airport Noise Abatement Procedure (NAP) trial
proposal - Flight Path

Design Assessment Outcome (undated with no page numbers) was produced
AFTER the Community Engagements and released publicly in the latter part
of 2023.......so your suggested document would not actual provide the
correct data.

If you review my various FOI requests on both Noise Abatement Trial -
Survey - HOBART RWY 30 RNP-AR & Noise Abatement Trial - Survey - HOBART
RWY 30 RNP-AR #2 you will see the request is unchanged.

As your published document listed that 47% did not want any change (which
was Option 4), the data should be easily obtainable on the remaining 53%
(≈49 respondents) without having to complete any major sort on your part.

As mentioned, please provide the document for the actual number of survey
respondents (not in

percentages) sorted for each Community and filtered by NAP Option 1,
Option 2, Option 3, Option 4 and Option 5'.

Your assistance with this simple request would be appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

Cathy Minnucci

Accordingly, your request

“Q: Could I please obtain the total “actual” number of survey respondents
(not in percentages) sorted for each Community and filtered by NAP Option
1, Option 2, Option 3, Option 4 and Option 5.”

Is not a valid request for documents under the FOI Act, and we are unable
to process it further. For the avoidance of doubt, if the request was
processed it would return a ‘access refused’ decision on the basis that no
documents exist.

I am happy to process a request which falls within the ambit of the FOI
Act, but confirm we are unable to process this request further. In these
circumstances, I am closing our file in this matter.

Regards

As mentioned previously in my FOI 23 29 - these survey inputs formed the

consult with these third parties concerned before deciding on the release
of those documents: see section 27 of the FOI Act.

If consultation is undertaken with third parties, the initial 30-day
period for processing your request will be extended by a further 30 days
(see section 15(6) of the FOI Act).

Airservices may impose a charge for the work involved in providing access
to the documents you requested. We will notify you of any charges in
