Ms Fitzharris (in reply to a question by Mrs Dunne on Tuesday, 28 November 2017):
There were 19 Freedom of Information applicants who received the documents requested under the Freedom of Information Act 1989 but the Directorate overlooked the final step of loading them onto the ACT Open Government website.

Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate—FOI requests
Mr Gentleman (in reply to a question and supplementary questions by Ms Lawder and Mr Coe on Tuesday, 28 November 2017):
Ms Lawder - Why is your directorate failing to meet the deadlines set by the FOI legislation?
The Directorate is processing a large volume of requests under the Freedom of Information Act 1989 (FOI Act) and endeavours to provide responses to requests as quickly as possible and within the prescribed timeframes.
Ms Lawder - Minister, will you now intervene and instruct your directorate to supply the documents without further delay; and if the delay is due to understaffing, will you adequately resource this division within the directorate?
No. I will not intervene in the independent decision-making process administered by the Directorate under the FOI Act.
Staffing of the Directorate is a matter for the Directorate and recruitment processes are undertaken as needs are identified.
