This consultation summary report summarises the key issues from the submissions received on three draft Guidance Statements and DER’s responses to these issues.  

To provide guidance on the Department of Environment Regulation’s (DER) regulatory framework and the application of regulatory controls for works approvals and licences granted under Part V, Division 3 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act).

DER will apply a risk-based approach to its regulatory functions to ensure that there is not an unacceptable risk of harm to public health or the environment. Licensing and approval decisions, including conditions imposed on works approval or licence, will be proportionate to the level of risk (consequence and likelihood) that the activity poses to public health and the environment.
