Under the NSW Protection of the Environment (General) Amendment (Pollution incident response management plans) Regulation 2012, several changes to the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (POEO Act) were introduced, including a new requirement that holders of an Environment Protection Licence are required to prepare, implement and test pollution-incident management plans for each of their licensed activities.
As part of our commitment to open communication with stakeholders and in compliance with legislation, this page provides access to information outlining actions to be taken during or immediately after a pollution incident, contact information of authorities and procedures for communicating with the community.
