- Use of CCTV Equipment and Information - in pdf format (1344kb)
- (This document requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader). Western Australian Auditor General's Report - Report 9 - October 2011. "The use of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) has become common place in the last few decades. If you fill up your car at a petrol station or walk through a railway station or entertainment precinct, there is a good chance your image will be captured on CCTV. CCTV can act as a visual deterrent to crime or antisocial behaviour as well as a means to assist in prosecution if an offence does occur. When actively monitored, CCTV can also be used to direct Police intervention before situations become volatile. However the use of CCTV does raise concerns about privacy for people going about their normal daily business. Government agencies in considering the use of CCTV need to balance the cost of installing, managing and monitoring CCTV against the likely benefits. This audit assessed the use of CCTV by state agencies and three local governments that were recipients of state funding for their CCTV programs..."

- Second Public Sector Performance Report 2011 - in pdf format (731kb)
- (This document requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader). Western Australian Auditor General’s Report, 7 September 2011. "This is the second Public Sector Performance report for 2011. These reports address performance by public sector agencies across a broad spectrum of government operations. This report contains two items: A performance audit of the use of ICT contractors in government. An investigation into the acceptance of gifts and benefits by public officers in the Department of Health. WA public sector agencies spend over $600 million each year to procure ICT goods and services. A key component of this expenditure is the temporary employment of ICT contractors. ICT contractors provide agencies with a flexible resource of expert advice and capacity to implement ICT business solutions. If managed well, ICT contractors can be a cost effective solution but if managed poorly, they can be an expensive waste of money. In this audit we assessed how well six agencies planned for, procured and managed their ICT contractors. Only one of the agencies performed well on all counts. Common weaknesses at the other agencies included a lack of robust strategic planning for ICT, poor procurement practice and a failure to adequately recognise or address potential conflicts of interest. The second item was an investigation into the acceptance of gifts and benefits by public officers in the Department of Health. The investigation was undertaken at the request of the Minister for Health and a member of the opposition..."

- LandGate Innovation Program
- "Landgate's Innovation Program was the result of internal discussions around how the agency could improve its services while capitalising on in-house experience and expertise. The agency currently commits two million dollars per annum toward business-making and value-saving ideas that are posted on an internal online forum. Ideas on the forum are discussed and developed by an innovation team which comprises around ten members of staff from throughout key areas of the agency. The innovation team then decides which ideas are progressed as formal projects and which ideas need closing down or further development. To date, the program has funded over 50 projects with over 100,000 hits being registered on the internal forum. The program is powered by four key words: Communication, Collaboration, Creativity and Culture. In a nutshell, this means empowering staff to go beyond their statement duties and be inspired to create new and innovative solutions in an open, transparent and collaborative way..."
