As worded, all these questions are asking for information to be created (form an opinion or legal advice as to the council's PRA compliance). OIA only applies to information which already exists, so your request is likely to be refused, have clarification requested, or be liberally interpreted in a compliant way.

A compliant request would be, for example, to ask for documents or correspondence relating to the council's PRA compliance.
