Freedom of Information Act, pursuant to section 39—Copy of notice provided to the Ombudsman—Transport Canberra and City Services Directorate—Freedom of Information request—Decision not made in time, dated 4 May 2018.
I ask leave to make a statement in relation to the paper.
Leave granted.
MS FITZHARRIS: Today I am tabling a notice provided to the Ombudsman by the Transport Canberra and City Services Directorate as required under the Freedom of Information Act 2016, section 39(1)(c), when a decision on an application for access to information is not made within the time allowed in the act, that time being 20 working days.
An application under the FOI Act was received in the directorate on 3 April 2018 for access to documents. An administrative delay in the processing of the decision led to the delay in responding to the applicant. The need for an extension was not identified at the time of processing the application. TCCS, like all government agencies, is committed to the principles of the FOI Act, and in particular to ensuring the rights of individuals to access all government information that falls within the act.
