Local Jobs First Act 2003

The Commissioner may make a recommendation to an agency regarding—

how a complaint or other matter relating to compliance with Local Jobs First or a Local Industry Development Plan could be resolved; or

how a practice or process relating to Local Jobs First or a Local Industry Development Plan could be improved; or

any other matter that the Commissioner considers relevant to the performance of the Commissioner's functions or the exercise of the Commissioner's powers.

A recommendation under subsection (1)—

must be made in writing; and

must specify the day by which the agency must respond in accordance with subsection (3); and

is not binding on the agency to which it is made; and

does not prevail over any inconsistency between the recommendation and—

a contract for a standard project or strategic project; or

any Act or law.

After receiving a recommendation under subsection (1), an agency must provide a written response to the Commissioner setting out—

whether or not the agency agrees to implement the recommendation (whether wholly or partially); and

any reasons the agency does not agree to implement all or part of the recommendation.
