This FOI disclosure concerns the processing and proposed redactions for Integrated Green Bank (IGB) documents. The Department prepared marked-up versions of Volume 2 materials for Climate Change & Energy and Environment & Water divisions, proposing redactions for staff names and contact details below SES level, staff photographs below deputy secretary level, portfolio agency contact details, and financial information (estimated and proposed funding figures not in the Portfolio Budget Statements, marked as deliberative under s47C). Volume 1 was understood to be fully exempt. The FOI Contact Officer sought comment from relevant staff on redaction appropriateness and was preparing a decision letter addressing deliberative and privacy exemptions with public interest tests. No processing charges were to be imposed. The document represents internal coordination on FOI release strategy rather than substantive environmental decision-making or scientific advice.
