• The Local Jobs First model clauses include a requirement that the contractor must submit a final local content monitoring report, including jobs data. You will need to ensure that this is obtained from the contractor at project completion. For construction projects, this is practical completion. For goods projects, it is at the time of full supply (ahead of the defects period). For services projects, it is often at the end of the life of the contract.
  • The final local content monitoring report must be submitted to the ICN and DJSIR's Industry Participation team, which will review the final local content and job outcomes and include this in Local Jobs First reporting.
  • You are encouraged to maintain robust records for your project and be prepared to work with DJSIR and the Local Jobs First Commissioner on your project’s compliance with Local Jobs First.
  • You are also responsible for verifying that the contractor has delivered on all local content and job commitments.
  • If the local content is found to be below the requirements outlined in the contract, you will need to manage this under the terms and conditions of the contract. You should also speak with your Local Jobs First Administrator and DJSIR's Industry Participation team about next steps.
