Yours faithfully,

notified of any charges in relation to your request as soon as possible, before we process
any requested documents or impose a final charge.
At present, IA intends to consult with the Department of Infrastructure and Regional
Development relating to documents that potentially fall within the ambit of your request.

Dear Mr Smith,
IA encourages informal requests for access to documents outside the FOI
Act where possible.
In this case, IA will need to confer with the Department of Infrastructure
and Regional Development as previously mentioned.
IA will contact you again to advise whether informal access can be made after we have
conferred with DIRD.
