Dear Julian Le Vay, 

In reference to you request for:

“1. could I please see the business case for East West railway project
connection stage 1 ie. CS1

2. has a decision to fund the entire project CS1-3 been taken and if so on
what basis, given the business cases for stages 2 and 3 are, you say,
still not complete”

The Department holds information that falls within the terms of your
request, however we need more time to carry out a public interest test. 

The FOI Act requires us to respond to requests no later than 20 working
days from receipt.  However, where the information is potentially exempt
from disclosure, and a complex public interest test needs to be carried
out to determine whether the information should be disclosed or not, the
deadline can be extended by a further 20 working days. The deadline for
answering your request is being extended for this reason. 

The exemptions that apply to the information you have requested are:

• Section 35(1)(a): formulation and development of Government policy;
• Section 43(2): prejudice the commercial interests of any legal person
(an individual, a company, the public authority itself or any other
legal entity).

We plan to let you have a response by Friday 9 August 2024.  If there is a
need for additional time we will keep you informed.

If you have any queries about this letter, please contact me. Please
remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications. 

Yours sincerely, 

FOI Advice Team
