QBuild constructs and maintains essential public infrastructure, such as hospitals, schools, police stations, and social housing. Given it manages a large and diverse portfolio of assets, it needs to effectively plan and prioritise its resources. Poor planning may result in increased safety risks, costs, and service disruption across government.
Who we plan to audit
- Department of Housing and Public Works (QBuild).
Audit Objective
In this audit, we will assess whether QBuild effectively prioritises its maintenance and construction activities. It could consider whether QBuild applies a risk-based approach and effectively prioritises resources to higher-priority assets and service delivery needs.
