The policy has been reviewed and there are no proposed changes from the existing policy.

Background

There continues to be large growth in urban development across the QPRC area. Unless properly regulated, this development has the potential to negatively impact on the health and amenity of land and waterways.

This policy aims to provide a framework for regulation of environmental controls on construction sites to ensure all stakeholders understand their roles and responsibilities to protect the environment during all stages of development and construction.

The policy outlines the process for investigation and enforcement where environmental controls on construction sites are either absent or inadequate.
