Programme Brief For NSW Local Government
May 2026 · v1.0

AI governance
that survives the audit.

A council-ready AI governance programme — installed in a five-day Arrochar sprint, aligned to the NSW AI Assessment Framework, ISO/IEC 42001, and the 2025 NSW Auditor-General Local Government findings. Your AI Review Committee runs out of it from week two. Available now as a Notion or Microsoft 365 workspace; evolving to a sovereign SaaS in 2026/27.

01 The 2025 AG report didn't ask if you use AI. It assumed you do.

The NSW Auditor-General's 2025 Local Government report set a clear bar: a documented AI strategy, an inventory of every AI tool, transparency to residents, and per-use-case risk assessment under the NSW AI Assessment Framework. Every council in NSW is reading it this year — only one in ten has a centralised inventory today. Sentinel is the audit-ready programme for the gap.

02 How the programme works
WEEK 1

Five-day install sprint

Arrochar runs interviews, builds your AI inventory, drafts your top three AIAF workpapers, and stands up your AI Review Committee charter — on-site or remote.

WEEK 2

Your AIRC runs out of it

Workspace lives in your Notion or Microsoft 365 tenant. Your committee approves use cases through gates G0–G4. Evidence and audit trail captured by default.
