Dear R. Chen,

 

I refer to your request of 19 February 2025. As your request is for a
large quantity of official information or necessitates a search through a
large quantity of information and meeting the original time limit would
unreasonably interfere with the operations of the University, and
consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a
response cannot reasonably be given within the original time limit, the
University has extended the time limit for your request by 20 working days
under section 15A(1)(a) and (b) of the OIA.

 

The new maximum time limit for the University’s response is 16 April 2025;
we will respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are
dissatisfied with this extension.

 

Yours sincerely,

Farleigh Quinlivan
