Good afternoon Manrug
I refer to your request received on 3 April 2019 for access to documents
under the FOI Act.
The current due date for your request is 3 May 2019. Due to the large
number of requests and shortage of key personnel from the responsible
business area and in order for the Department to complete the decision
making process in relation to the documents that fall within the scope of
your request, the Department will require additional time to process your
request.
The Department seeks your agreement under section 15AA of the FOI Act to
extend the timeframe for the processing of your request by 30 days. This
would extend the due date for your request to Sunday 2 June 2019. However
as this date falls on a non-working day section 36(2) of the Acts
Interpretation Act 1901 provides that the latest date the Department may
issue a decision would be the next working day which is Monday 3 June
2019.
It would assist the Department in managing its FOI caseload if you could
provide a response to this request by close of business, Monday, 29 April
2019.
If you wish to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to
contact me on the details below.
Thanks and Regards
