Strike it Out Documentation - Strike it Out's proposal

We're waiting for MissAnonymous to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear Launceston City Council,

I would like to handle this FOIA informally / administratively given the council has released information publicly regarding Strike It Out in a public response and therefore public interest overrides any formalities regarding FOIA.

The press release I refer to is:

https://www.launceston.tas.gov.au/News-M...

I would like to welcome Launceston City Council prompt release of the below documents for fact checking associated with the press release that would be helpful for the public to understand what has been going on given the council should have already prepared this documentation internally in order to publish the press release;

a) November 2022 - Strike it Out's proposal for a sleep pod trailer

b) March 2023 - Correspondence received from Strike it Out relating to the sleep pod trailer project.

c) March 2023 ? - The City of Launceston's written response to b)

d) June — September 2023 - Communication of the Strike it Out discussions

e) June — September 2023 - Record of communication relating to "Strike it Out later advises that Council land was no longer being considered for the project"

f) November 2023 - Record of the submission on: "Strike it Out submits an unsuccessful Expression of Interest for the historic Frederick St infant school property"

g) December 2023 - Record of communication on "Council reached out to remind Strike it Out that ..."

h) April 2024 - Record of communication "Strike it Out emails some documents to the Council regarding"

i) May 2024 - Record of communication "Strike it Out requests to trial its shower trailer"

j) June 18 2024 - Record of the request "Strike it Out makes a request to the Council's Events Department"

k) June 26 2024 - Record of the email of "to request the trailers be removed or further action will be taken"

l) June 28 2024 - Record of "Strike it Out contacts the Council and says the trailers will be removed as soon as possible"

m) All internal documentation that the council has produced relating to Strike It Out

If the documentation does not exist partially or in full I would like the council disclose which ones do not exist.

Yours faithfully,

MissAnonymous

Dear Launceston City Council

Pursuant to the Right to Information Act

I am requesting internal review -

It is the obligation of the council to consult any 3rd parties for release if any required.

Also the council has the option to and obligation otherwise to redact any personal information.

For your convenience the request is also publicly automaticly visible here:
https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/s...

Please re-consider - I am looking forward to the reponse of my internal review request - Thanks

Yours sincerely,

MissAnonymous

City of Launceston, Launceston City Council

Dear Miss Anonymous,
You have requested a review of the Council's position that some of the information you have sought cannot be released, as the documents are not publicly available and/or Council does not have the consent of third parties to release the information.
I confirm that this is the case.
The information to which you refer in your request for review may be available to you via assessed disclosure under the Right to Information Act 2009 (Tas). Information on how to make an application for assessed disclosure is available at https://www.launceston.tas.gov.au/Counci....
Kind regards,
City of Launceston.

Dear City of Launceston,
Attn RTI Officer

Re: Strike it Out documentation

Please provide the written reasons of rejecting my application as to the documentation pertaining Strike It Out as the reasons were not provided in the deemed refusal.

I mentioned to City of Launceston RTI Officer that it is obligation of the City of Launceston to contact Strike it Out and ask for any consents to deal with the application if any.

Please provide response that whether you have refused to contact Strike it Out regarding processing the application forward relating to the information dependant on their provided consent.

I welcome City of Launceston to faciliate contacting Strike it Out independently to provide the rest of the information that requires City of Launceston to be in compliance with Right To Information ("RTI") Act.

My application was always pursuant to RTI Act.

Regulations neither provide that a PDF form must be filled or the application must be done in a certain way other than it must be in writing.

As it is through e-mail, Electronic Transactions Act: https://www.legislation.tas.gov.au/view/...

6. Writing
(1) If, under a law of this jurisdiction, a person is required to give information in writing, that requirement is taken to have been met if the person gives the information by means of an electronic communication,
(5) For the purposes of this section –
giving information includes, but is not limited to, the following:
(a) making an application;

Please provide the statute that provides that one must install a software that requires processing proprietary PDF forms and where e-mail is not sufficient to give an effect to RTI applications.

Yours sincerely,

MissAnonymous

The City of Launceston, Launceston City Council

Dear Miss Anonymous

The reason for refusal of the information requested is that it is not publicly available, and its release was not otherwise authorised by relevant third parties.

As your request did not meet the minimum requirements for an application for assessed disclosure, it was not received as such. Please refer to section 13 of the Right to Information Act 2009 and the Right to Information Regulations 2021.

Please confirm whether you are seeking assessed disclosure, or if your enquires are of a more general nature under the active disclosure mechanisms of the Right to Information Act 2009. If you are seeking assessed disclosure, I can provide further information on process and what is required in making a valid application under the Act.

We have provided as much information as we can through the guidelines available to us through the Right to Information Act 2009.

Alternatively, I am happy to consider any further questions you have outside of the assessed disclosure process.

Please advise how you wish to proceed.

We don't know whether the most recent response to this request contains information or not – if you are MissAnonymous please sign in and let everyone know.
