This document is a notice of intention to refuse an FOI request, dated 20 October 2026, from the ATO's Office of General Counsel. It concerns a request for documents on the proposed relocation of the ATO's Adelaide office from 26 Franklin Street to Festival Tower Two, Festival Plaza, including procurement, lease negotiations with Walker Corporation, and any links to project funding. The ATO says preliminary searches identified 387 folders and about 2,505 documents, estimated at roughly 7,515 pages and 375.5 hours of review, and it considers this a practical refusal reason. The notice invites the applicant to revise the request within 14 days, suggests narrowing options, and warns that the request will be treated as withdrawn if no response is received. No substantive accommodation or lease terms are disclosed.
