Dear Rohan,

 

We refer to your request received by Parks Victoria today in which you
requested access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982
(FOI Act) in the following terms: 

 

“A copy of the Parks Victoria branding guidelines”

 

Document discovery 

 

We made enquiries with the relevant business areas, including  the Visitor
Experience Directorate and they advise a copy of the  Parks Victoria Brand
Guidelines is available on the Parks Victoria website :
[1]https://www.parks.vic.gov.au/-/media/pro...

 

Decision 

 

The FOI Act provides for informal release under section 16(2), which notes
that nothing in the FOI Act prevents an agency from providing a person
with access to documents outside the FOI Act, where it is possible and
lawful to do so. 

 

An informal release of information involves Parks Victoria receiving an
information access request and releasing the requested information or
document, either in full or in part, outside the FOI Act. This is also
known as administrative release.  

 

Further, Professional Standard 1 requires Parks Victoria to consider
whether a document in its possession and requested under the FOI Act, can
properly be provided outside the FOI Act, and if so, facilitate access or
otherwise advise how an applicant can access the document.

 

If you have any queries, please contact us at [2][Parks Victoria request email]
quoting the above reference number.
