Guidance statement: Publication of Annual Audit Compliance Reports

Guidance
Information on how we will provide greater public access to the information provided in the Annual Audit Compliance Reports submitted by licensees.
Last updated:

The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation provides licences to the occupiers of prescribed premises under Part V of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act).

Licences are issued with a condition that requires the licensee to submit an Annual Audit Compliance Report (AACR). The AACR relates to compliance reporting which enables the licensee to report on their compliance or non-compliance(s) with licence conditions.

This guidance statement outlines that in order to increase transparency of licensees’ environmental performance, in line with our Regulatory Principles, we will provide greater public access to the information provided in AACRs submitted by licensees. In a change to its administrative procedures, we will publish AACRs on our website.

For more information, view the Guideline: Annual Audit Compliance Reports and Annual Audit Compliance Report form.
