Good morning Shyam

Thank you for your email to the Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC) relating to citizenship applications within the City of Melbourne.

DPC does not hold information relevant to the terms of your request.

The City of Melbourne may be the appropriate organisation holding the relevant documents. I recommend contacting the City of Melbourne directly : https://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/Pages/c.... In the event that the City of Melbourne does not hold this information, it may be appropriate to lodge a Freedom of Information request with the Department of Home Affairs. Given these are local and federal government agencies respectively, I cannot transfer the request on your behalf.

I hope this information assists you.

Kind regards

Phoebe Tobin-White  |  Freedom of Information and Privacy Officer  |  Office of the General Counsel
