Dear City of Onkaparinga,

This is a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act.

I refer to the news article, 'Onkaparinga Council paid for Mayor Lorraine Rosenberg’s trips to the Australian Open' 'which can be accessed at the following URL:

http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/news...

The documents I seek are all of those which :

1. Detail the dates the mayor visited the Australian Open, and the identity of persons the mayor met in order to "build and maintain relationships with Tennis Australia and Tennis SA and helped [City of Onkaparinga] maintain our status as host of the annual ATP Onkaparinga Challenger event at Happy Valley".

2. Describe and/or justify, the benefits acquired by Onkaparinga ratepayers as a result of this expenditure of ratepayer funds.

Yours faithfully,

William Shakespeare
