7.  Accountability, Transparency and Probity

The State Government has a responsibility to the people of Western Australia to ensure that it is open and accountable in its dealings and that it promotes the State's best interests. A PPP project may therefore involve scrutiny by the Parliament, the Auditor General and the public through freedom of information processes.

There are also statutory requirements that Government must comply with in its dealings, such as the State Supply Commission Act (Probity and Accountability and Open and Effective Competition), the Financial Management Act (Section 81) and the Public Works Act.
