Dear Glen
I acknowledge receipt of your request under the Freedom of Information Act 1982.
CASA received your request on 14 June 2023 and the 30 day statutory period for processing your request commenced from the day after that date. You should therefore expect a decision from us by 14 July 2023. However, the period of 30 days may be extended if we need to consult third parties or for other reasons. We will advise you if this happens.
You will be notified of any charges in relation to your request as soon as possible, before we process any requested documents or impose a final charge.
When we have made a decision about your FOI request, we will send you a letter explaining our decision and your review and appeal rights.
We will contact you using the email address you provided. Please advise if you would prefer us to use an alternative means of contact.
I have summarised your request as follows – (please let me know if I have left anything out):
I am requesting CASA provide me with copies of commercial contracts that CASA retains of any operator in the flight training industry. If more than 5 located, the most recent five that CASA retain or have been involved in.
The Agreements that CASA would hold and have required for both Ballarat Aero Club, and Latrobe Valley Aero Club who had an existing arrangement with previous Flight Training Operators, until the day before they transferred to APTA.
A copy of the contract between APTA and Latrobe Valley Aero Club, that was finalised in or around June 2019.
I am not interested in any of the financial information, signatories to the agreement, and matters of operational control that are already replicated in the CASA approved Exposition, any names, titles, positions, or any information of a sensitive nature.
Date range: 1 November 1938 – 31 October 2018
I will liaise with the relevant CASA Officers to locate the documents in scope and will be in touch in due course.
Kind Regards,
