Our public registers list our decisions and regulatory activities under the Environment Protection Act 2017(opens in a new window). By law, we must maintain this information and make it available to the community.
This includes information about:
- businesses that hold a permission – for example, a licence, permit or registration
- performance reports from permission holders
- compliance and enforcement activities
- environmental audits and auditors
- compliance codes, position statements and statutory guidelines.
We update the information on our public registers overnight. This means there may be a delay of up to 24 hours before information is up to date.
