Improve monitoring and compliance across the state by:
- prioritising monitoring and compliance activities and programs with a focus on illegal clearing, breaches of approval conditions or licences, including water licences;
- establishing and fund robust monitoring and compliance program;
- ensuring monitoring programs are evidence based, robust and that appropriate threshold triggers applied;
- adopting third party independent reviews to establish the accuracy of proponent-reported information;
- establishing a comprehensive framework for enforcement responses, including improved timeliness of enforcement actions and penalties that reflect the risk and which guarantee an effective deterrent; and
- making compliance outcomes and enforcement actions more readily accessible to the public (see also Recommendation 36 'Third Party Enforcement'), to improve transparency, accountability, and to promote good corporate citizenship and social pressure to comply
