Dear

I refer to your application pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act 1991 (the Act) received by the Department for Environment and Water (DEW) on 25 July 2019, seeking access to:

"1. List of Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat destruction permits for the suburb of Hansborough. 2. List of Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat destruction permits including showing number of wombats for each permit issued for the following physical property addresses: -178 Ben Lomond Road, Hansborough SA 5374 -167 New/ands Road, Hansborough SA 5374 -Lot 155 Daveys Road, Hansborough SA 5374 Timeframe: 01/01/1980 to 25/07/2019"

DETERMINATION

Records of Destruction permits capable of extraction into a list have been held by the Department since 2000. A List of Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat destruction permits prior to 1 January 2000 was not able to be located through the Department's search process.

As part of the search process it was identified that the permits to destroy wildlife are not recorded in the Departmental database by property suburb/town but are recorded by property hundred/s and section/s. It is acknowledged that the suburb/town of Hansborough is located across the Hundred of Julia Creek and the Hundred of .

As a DEW Accredited FOi Officer, I have determined that a list of all permits issued within the Hundred of Julia Creek and Hundred of Kapunda will meet the criteria of your request. 2

Searches of the Department's records have found one (1) document held by this agency within scope of your request.

As a DEW Accredited FOi Officer, I have determined to grant you partial access to this document. Section 20 of the Act provides that an agency may refuse access to a document if it is an exempt document under the Act.

The documents, or parts of the document to which I am refusing access and the reasons for the refusal are explained in more detail below.

Document number 1 Schedule 1, Clause 6(1) of the Act states that:

6-Documents affecting personal affairs

6(1) A document is an exempt document if it contains matter the disclosure of which would involve the unreasonable disclosure of information concerning the personal affairs of any person (living or dead).

Th e full release of this document would involve the unreasonable disclosure of information concern ing personal affairs, thus those parts are exempt pursuant to Clause 6(1) of the FOi Act.

Searches of the Department's records were unable to identify any records of permits being issued within the Hundred of Kapunda within the timeframe.

In accordance with PC045 - Disclosu re logs for Non-personal information once a determination has been provided, the agency is required to make available on our website information and documents that have been disclosed.
