Queensland Government Changes Environmental Regime

/in /by

By now you may have received a brochure from The Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection announcing changes to compliance and monitoring of environmental standards.

Do you know what your compliance obligations are?

Does your process and equipment meet those obligations?

The department is changing the way it regulates by:

  • Upgrading systems to increase data collection and analysis
  • Expanding the compliance team to spend more time inspecting to ensure businesses are meeting their obligations.
  • Increasing penalties, up to four fold for individuals and corporations that don’t comply.

EPCO Australia has teamed up with it’s strategic partner Simmonds & Bristow to offer an audit service to help our clients meet the new compliance regime.
