Local Land Services audits
We have three audit functions under the Local Land Services Act 2013 to audit Local Land Services (LLS):
- Audits of LLS activities every five years (Section 24). The most recently completed audit was in September 2024 on invasive species management.
- Audits of the implementation of the LLS State strategic plan at intervals of not more than five years (Section 44). The most recently completed audit was in September 2025.
- Audits of the implementation of the 11 local strategic plans within three years (Section 54). The most recently completed audit was in September 2025.
Water management plan audits
We also have a rolling program of audits under the Water Management Act 2000. We audit the implementation of water management plans within five years of their commencement. This is to determine whether their provisions are being put into effect. This includes around 58 water sharing plans and 7 floodplain management plans. Auditees include:
- The NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water
- WaterNSW.
Our audits deliver accountability of service delivery and drive improved performance. They also build community and investor confidence in the audited organisation's activities.
