This Draft Report reviews Local Government’s Compliance and Enforcement activities in NSW and makes draft recommendations to provide red tape savings to business and the community. The report considers ways to improve the capacity and capability of councils, and the quality of regulatory administration. The report focuses on councils’ enforcement activities in areas such as planning, building, environment, health, parking, transport and companion animals. IPART is seeking public comment on our draft recommendations, to be considered as part of our Final Report.
