Crown Lands and Water Division Inspection

This customizable checklist supports field-based inspections for Crown Lands and Water Division operations. Inspect activities affecting waterfront land and watercourses, including construction of structures, depositing or excavating material, land clearing, and water management works. Capture observations and photos, assess PPE and site hazards, verify compliance with erosion and sediment control, vegetation management, riparian zone protection, bank stabilisation, stormwater plans, outlet structures, crossings, and in-stream works. Record water meter issues, note potential offences under the Water Management Act, and create referrals to agencies such as Council, Water NSW, Fisheries, Crown Lands, the Office of Environment and Heritage, and the EPA. Document interviews using the included voluntary interview guide, add contemporaneous notes, and assign follow-up actions to streamline compliance and reporting.
