Your request is currently invalid. Section 17 of the FOI Act requires payment of an application fee of $30.60 (two fee units).
This fee may only be waived if payment would cause hardship to the applicant. If you believe that payment of the application fee will cause you financial hardship, you may request a waiver. This request must be accompanied by suitable evidence of hardship, such as a copy of a pension or Centrelink benefit card.
You should note that access charges for things such as search time and photocopying will also apply to your request. These cannot be waived on the basis of hardship however.
If you wish to proceed with your request, please forward payment of $30.60. A payment form is attached. Please complete the payment form and return by email to confirm that the application fee has been paid.
Alternatively, if you seek a waiver please provide reasons and supporting documentation.
If I can be of any assistance please contact me.

Dear Veronica J Finn (DELWP),
My surveyor was also unable to find SPEAR reference 144797 via the official on line search.
However:
I suggest you speak with the male who answers calls on the SPEAR DESK who provided me with the link
And the person/s who replied to emails regarding SPEAR 144797 sent to the SPEAR Desk
They maybe the same person
The SPEAR Desk never identify themselves
No even with a first name
Hope this information assists your FOI search
Yours sincerely,
R Bulmer
I am currently on leave and will return on Monday 9 January 2023. For any
urgent matters during this time please email the FOI Unit at
[email address]
Dear Veronica J Finn (DELWP),
Re: my emailed reply to your request for clarification 22/12/2022, which you have knowledged
Unfortunately i hit send without the providing the following clarification:
My request relates to SPEAR references S144754S and
144797
It is our understanding both references are said to relate to planning applications at the property we own, volume 11499 folio 992
Is our title number sufficient ID?
SPEAR desk confirmed 144797 is a valid SPEAR reference number
Please advise us if our FOI application is now valid
Yours sincerely,
R Bulmer
Dear Veronica J Finn (DELWP)
Further to my replies:
If it is ok, I seek clarification of your initial enquiries with the relevant area, which advised SPEAR reference 144797 was not a valid SPEAR reference number
No further discussion of SPEAR reference 144797 was provided.
Can i ask if your initial enquiries of the relevant area will included the SPEAR IT department, eg data and metadata?
Given SPEAR ( Surveying and Planning through Electronic Applications and Referrals) process, release and store legal documents electronically.
If not will you please include an appropriate IT search before making your determination?
Your clarification of the above would be greatly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
R Bulmer
Dear R Bulmer,
Thank you for your email.
I had been advised by Land Use Victoria that the SPEAR number provided is not a valid one. I will make enquiries with Land Use Victoria for a list of any SPEAR numbers associated with your property and get back to you.
Please note that as you have made your request through the Right to Know website, all correspondence relating to your request (including any decision and documents released) will be published on the Right to Know website. As your request relates to information about your private property, you may wish to provide a personal email address so that I can send correspondence directly to you without that information being published on the website.
