Dear Josh Stewart

I refer to your correspondence to the Victorian Building Authority (VBA)
dated 15 August 2023, in which you requested:

‘I am requesting the documented formal outcome from the Statewide Cladding
Audit's Advisory Reference Panel assessment for the building known as Site
One, located at 757 Bourke Street. Docklands 3008. This was inspected as
part of the Statewide Cladding Audit (SCA) in 2020 and referred to the
Advisory Reference Panel, I am seeking the complete outcome of this panels
assessment.

Please note that I am not seeking only the assessment classification (Low,
Moderate, High, Extreme), but the documented reasons that made up this
decision, the inputs that were used as well as any other findings of the
panel related to this building

Additionally I would like to request a copy of the documentation for how
the Advisory Reference Panel makes their determinations and
classifications for the SCA’

You are making a request under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Vic)
(FOI Act), however at this time your request is not valid under section 17
of the FOI Act.

Because in accordance with Section 17(2A) of the Act, in order to be a
valid request, an application fee $31.80 must accompany a request. Such a
fee did not accompany your request.  Accordingly, the VBA cannot process
your request until you pay the application fee.

For more information about FOI process, please visit the VBA website:

FOI Team
