An audit must be conducted by an approved auditor before any new water or sewerage infrastructure is brought into commercial operation. Audits will also be required at other times. Periodic audits by an approved auditor will also be required by the Minister or IPART as to the condition of the licensee's infrastructure and the adequacy of the licensee's infrastructure operating, water quality, sewage management or retail supply management plans (as is relevant to the particular licence). IPART is also required to review each licence at intervals of not more than every 5 years (starting from the date the licence commences) by conducting an audit of the licence. An approved auditor is a person nominated by IPART, chosen by the licensee from a panel of persons nominated by IPART or nominated by the licensee and approved by IPART.
