This FOI disclosure comprises internal DCCEEW correspondence from November 2023 regarding a previous FOI request about marine farming in Macquarie Harbour (EPBC 2012/6406). The exchange between the Environment Assessments branch and the department's Legal Division establishes that departmental records do not include ministerial correspondence sent to other agencies or the Tasmanian Government, and clarifies that applicants seeking such documents must lodge separate requests directly with the Minister's office. The discussion addresses procedural boundaries between departmental FOI obligations and ministerial office records, with no substantive environmental assessment data, compliance information, or policy decisions disclosed.
