(b) monitoring whether information given in compliance, or purported compliance, with a provision of an Act or a legislative instrument is correct;
(ba) monitoring other matters to which an Act or legislative instruments relates;
(c) gathering material that relates to the contravention of an offence provision or a civil penalty provision;
(d) the use of civil penalties to enforce provisions;
(e) the use of infringement notices where there is a reasonable belief that a provision has been contravened;
(f) the acceptance and enforcement of undertakings relating to compliance with provisions;
