Environmental Management and Monitoring
Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan auditing and continual compliance
The Mindarie Regional Council operations a licenced facility under a Department of Environmental and Water Regulations, Part V licence. This licence is audited annually against how we operator our site. This audit process is necessary to:
- ensure that MRC continues to comply with its licence requirements;
- ensure the ongoing compliance with MRC’s environmental site management plan;
- assess the effectiveness of the environmental system and provides improvements to management, with regard to Statutory compliance and performance;
- identify additional areas of risk improvement opportunities; and
- provide the organisation with feedback to facilitate ongoing development and implementation of our operation.
