Environmental Management Plans (EMP)

Our Environmental Management Plans 

Environmental management plans are often requirements to demonstrate compliance with environmental approvals conditions, usually for development projects.

Where environmental approval has been granted, this is often conditional upon the preparation and implementation of environmental management plans.

Therefore, in order to comply with conditions of approval, EMPs are required. Ongoing reporting on the implementation and success of EMPs is also often required, to demonstrate that the EMP is being used and is working to avoid or manage impacts to the environment.

Monitoring and reporting the outcomes of this is often also required. The environmental management and planning process can be complicated, and requires specialist skills and experience.

In the realms of natural resource management (as opposed to development), environmental management plans are sometimes prepared and implemented to ensure the best possible outcomes for the relevant environmental aspects being protected.
