Grounds Audit Checklist

by I&O La Trobe, from the Community

This grounds audit template helps teams evaluate outdoor areas across campus or large sites. Inspect lawns for height, edges, weeds and dry spots; review garden beds for weeds, mulch and debris; check pathways and stairs for overhanging foliage, build up and immediate hazards; verify carparks and gutters for cleanliness and presentation; and identify irrigation leaks, broken components and dry areas. Record site details, capture photos, note issues that need immediate attention and prioritize maintenance actions to improve safety, appearance and compliance with site standards.
