Confirming our telephone conversation Wed 17th I am looking forward to receiving your advice in regard to the number of pages involved in the Delegated Authorities Register. As I confirmed by phone there is nothing that needs to be discussed or negotiated as for my purposes I need a full copy of the register in order that it might be scrutinised in totality and compared and contrasted with like documentation readily available from other Councils upon request.
Since there has been so much resistance in providing this information I’d welcome some kind of explanation in regard as to what is being protected in Launceston that on the evidence thus far is not an issue elsewhere. Surely given that the information I’m seeking is in fact public information and consequent to determinations at open Council meetings – not to mention Council’s Organisational Values and the standards invoked within them. Am I misguided in this assumption?
I will of course be attending to collect the copy you are now offering against the register being held for the public to inspect as the Act requires, as I indicated by phone. I look forward to receiving the information you’ve agreed to provide at you earliest possible convenience given that my request was made such a long time ago.
Regards,
Ray

Good afternoon Mr Norman
The cost of copying is 20c per copy and we can discuss your other queries when you come in and view the register and clarify what you are seeking.

Subject: Information Request: Delegated Authorities
Good morning,
In relation to recent correspondence concerning the Launceston City Council Register of Delegations, John Davis informed me that I had to attend the Council Chambers to view the Register – as per section 22(4) of the Local Government Act 1993.
I will of course visit the Council and view the Register but I anticipate that throughout the register it will contain relevant information to my research. I’ve been advised that I can request copies of the pages I wish to scrutinise in detail and that Council may charge me for making the copies. However, I anticipate that it will be the entire register that I will require.
Given this, three questions arise. Firstly, what will the anticipated cost of a hardcopy of the register? Secondly, if Council is not prepared to make the copy I require, can I make my own copy as I inspect the register? Thirdly, how many pages does the register consist of?
I’ve also been advised to ask Council to provide a reason for declining to provide me with a copy of the register should you actually decline my request. Can you please provide me with that information.
Regards,
Ray
