I have taken your request to be for:

How much is paid to sites to be polling venues eg Mosman High School and
the Mosmsn Art Gallery in New South Wales.

The AEC received your request on 4 and the 30 day statutory period for

therefore expect a decision from the AEC by 3 August 2016. The period of
30 days may be extended if we need to consult third parties,: impose a
charge or for other reasons. We will advise you if this happens.

You will be notified of any charges in relation to your request as soon as
