Guarantee of Service

The department has a wide range of services, from the Land and Housing Corporation, to the Valuer General, state significant developments and precinct plans, water management, biodiversity and conservation, and so on. The department therefore does not have a single guarantee of service. If you would like to know what the department’s guarantee is for a particular service, you can contact us using the Your Feedback widget on the home page.

Major assets and value of properties disposed

Under section 18(g) of the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 and clause 6(2) of the Government Information (Public Access) Regulation 2016, the department is required to provide open access to the following government information:
