Dear Mr Stanford

 

We refer to your attached correspondence of 26 January 2023, to the
Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water
(department). In this correspondence, you have sought:

 

‘* Minutes and records of meetings attended by individuals represented the
Wollumbin Consultative Group

* Attendance Records from these meetings

* Emails or documents communicating with the Wollumbin Consultative Group
that refer to the Mt Warning area

* For individuals known to be representing the Wollumbin Consultative
Group the following known information:

    Name

    Non-personal contact details

    Position

    Title

    Public function

    Any government agency in which the individual works'

 

Please be advised that we do not consider your email to be a valid request
under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) (FOI Act).

 

This is due to the right of access under the FOI Act to documents, rather
than to information. In point 4 of your request, you have requested the
personal details of individuals representing the Wollumbin Consultative
Group rather than specific documents.

 

For your information, the management of Wollumbin National Park is the
responsibility of the National Parks and Wildlife Service within the NSW
Department of Planning and Environment. Should you wish to request
information from this agency, you can do so under the Government
Information (Public Access) Act via their website:
[1]https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/about....

 

If you would like to submit a valid FOI request to the department, you may
do so by email at [2][email address] or via this link:
[3]https://www.dcceew.gov.au/about/reportin...

 

Information about how to lodge a valid FOI request can be found on the
Office of the Australian Information Commissioner’s website [4]here.

 

Kind regards,

 

FOI Contact Officer on behalf of the

Office of the Hon Tanya Plibersek MP

Minister for the Environment and Water
