the period between 20 December and 10 January inclusive.  On this basis,
we calculate a response to your request received on 21 October 2024 is due

process your request as quickly as staff resources allow.

 

For requests that are likely to involve substantial collation and/or

policy, staff time for the first hour is free of charge.  Thereafter this

with the first 20 pages being copied free of charge.  Under section 13(4)
of LGOIMA we do have the ability to request the amounts due are paid in
advance of the release of information.   Please be assured that if a
charge is likely to apply you will be notified ahead of the request being
processed so that you can decide if you wish to proceed.  At that time you
will also be given the option to refine your request.
