Regulatory framework
How we regulate
Our regulatory framework: Educate
We educate community, industry and government about environmental issues. We empower decision-making by the community and businesses to take environmental outcomes into account in their practices. We provide guidance about how people or industry can meet or exceed their legal obligations.
Our regulatory framework: Enable
We enable the people of NSW – we inform the community about what we do and how we do it. We assist the community, businesses, co-regulators and we partner with industry and government to protect, restore and enhance the environment.
