Regulatory Impact Statement
Protection of the Environment Operations (Clean Air) Regulation 2021
This document is a Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) for the Clean Air Regulation, prepared in accordance with the Subordinate Legislation Act 1989.
When a regulation is to be made, the responsible agency must prepare a RIS that examines the economic and social costs and benefits of regulatory proposals and their alternatives.
As required, this RIS addresses the Better Regulation Principles for the regulation. To ensure the Regulation is appropriate, effective and efficient, the NSW Government has provided the Better Regulation Principles (NSW Treasury 2019) as a framework to determine that the regulation is required, reasonable and responsive to the economic, social and environmental needs of NSW.
