South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated Acts (1) An agency to which
an application has been made may transfer the application to another agency if
the document to which it relates—
(a) is
not held by the agency but is, to the knowledge of the agency, held by the
other agency; or
(b) is
held by the agency but is more closely related to the functions of the other
agency.
(2) An agency that
transfers an application to another agency must, if it holds the document to
which the application relates, forward a copy of the document to the other
agency together with the application.
(3) An agency that
transfers an application to another agency must forthwith cause notice of that
fact to be given to the applicant.
(4) Such a notice must
specify the day on which, and the agency to which, the application was
transferred.
(5) An agency is not
required to include in a notice any matter if its inclusion in the notice
would result in the notice being an exempt document.
(6) An application
that is transferred from one agency to another is to be taken to have been
received by the other agency—
(a) on
the day on which it is transferred; or
(b) 14
days after the day on which it was received by the agency to which it was
originally made,
whichever is the earlier.
