Consultation
The EPA has developed the NSW radiation protection roadmap 2020 – 2026 outlining our approach to ensuring NSW has a safe, consistent radiation protection system that puts communities first and protects the environment. The roadmap sets out our priority actions and outcomes for the next six years to make certain that radiation users are competent and appropriately supervised, and that radiation sources have proper oversight.
Public consultation is now open, and the NSW Government invites you to have your say on the radiation protection roadmap. The feedback gained from public submissions will help us make sure we’re on the right track and will inform the finalisation of the roadmap.
To read the NSW radiation protection roadmap 2020 – 2026, and make a submission, visit the Have Your Say website. Submissions must be made by midnight on 28 February 2020.
