This audit will assess how effectively the Department of Planning and Environment (Heritage NSW) is overseeing and administering heritage assets of State significance and this audit is open to taking submissions from members of the public and sector organisations or stakeholders. You can find more information about the audit and some targeted questions for stakeholders at our website: Overseeing heritage assets | Audit Office of New South Wales (nsw.gov.au).
