Environmental management plans

An environment management plan (EMP) must demonstrate how environmental risks are controlled and reduced to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable and acceptable in addition to meeting the principles of ecologically sustainable development.

The regulations also mandate that stakeholders who are affected by the activity are properly consulted and engaged. The full contents of an EMP, with the exception of strictly in confidence information as defined by the Information Act 2002, will be made public.

To view all approved EMPs, go to the Department of Lands, Planning and Environment website.
