Environment Protection Authority
Report pollution
To report any of the types of pollution for which the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) or Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) has regulatory responsibility, phone 131 555 (local call cost throughout NSW except from mobile phones), or (02) 9995 5555 (if calling from outside NSW).
The NSW Government has established the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) - a modernised and independent authority responsible for licensing and regulating:
The EPA's focus is on making those subject to environmental regulation aware of Government and community expectations about the protection of our environment and the health of local communities, by raising general awareness of regulatory requirements and delivering strong compliance and enforcement programs
The EPA also assesses and advises on how to best regulate activities that may have an impact on our environment, and designs and delivers regulatory environmental protection programs.
The EPA Board oversees the work of the EPA.
The Office of Environment and Heritage, as an office of state responsible to the Minister for the Environment, develops policy in all environmental matters and regulates biodiversity, Aboriginal cultural heritage, waters and rivers, wildlife and native vegetation.
Information about EPA responsibilities continues to be accessible through the OEH website.
