Dear Dale Webster

We write to acknowledge receipt of your request, under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (FOI Act), seeking the following documents:

I request copies of all documents, including correspondence, held by
Treasury pertaining to the Regional Banking Taskforce (2021/2022).

The Treasury received your request on 13 November 2022. The FOI Act
provides that we have 14 days to acknowledge, and 30 days to process, the
request. This period may be extended if we need to consult third parties
or for other reasons. We will advise you if this happens.

We will advise you if a charge is payable to process your request and the
amount of any such charge as soon as possible.

We make the following assumptions that affect the scope of the request.
These are set out below.

It is our usual practice:

•             not to disclose the personal information of government
employees or the personal contact details of senior government employees
(including those of the Treasury). The names of senior officers will
generally be released.

•             not to release duplicates of any document captured within
the scope of the request.

•             only the final version of a document will be considered
within scope.

Please inform us if you do not agree to the request being processed on the
above assumptions. If we do not hear from you, your request will be
processed on the basis that these documents are outside the scope of your
request.

We will contact you using the email address you provided. Please advise if
you would prefer us to use an alternative means of contact.

Dear FOI,

As requested I have revised the scope of my request for Regional Banking Taskforce documents.

I request all emails and documents related to just the following topics:

- drafting of the final report

- the draft copy of the final report as it stood at the change of government (May/June 2022)

- the establishment of the taskforce and selection process for membership of the taskforce

- the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) authorised deposit-taking points of presence data and regional bank numbers/statistics.

Yours sincerely,

Dale Webster
