The New South Wales Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has released its regulatory assurance statement and annual report.
The regulatory assurance statement examines:
- the success of the EPA in reducing risks to human health and preventing degradation of the environment;
- the level of environment protection provided by the EPA in comparison with other Australian jurisdictions;
- the performance and impact of the industries the EPA regulates in reducing risks to human health and preventing degradation of the environment; and
- recommendations for improving both the EPA’s performance and the performance of the industries it regulates.
The annual report summaries the activities and performance of the NSW EPA in 2016–17.
