The plan focuses our efforts on the activities and risks that most impact biodiversity and heritage across New South Wales through the areas we regulate. It guides how we support and encourage compliance with environmental and heritage laws, monitor and respond to risks, and act when needed to protect our biodiversity and heritage. It also guides how we build, manage and maintain capability and capacity to undertake our regulatory duties safely, effectively and efficiently based on best practice, science, cultural knowledge and evidence.
The Biodiversity and Heritage Regulator supports the NSW Government’s vision for a thriving, sustainable and resilient environment, community and economy to benefit the people of New South Wales. This plan complements key government strategies including the:
- NSW Plan for Nature
- NSW Heritage Strategy
- NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water Strategic Plan.
