Published Environmental Monitoring Data

With the introduction of the Protection of the Environment Legislation Amendment Act 2011 (POELA Act), the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) requires all holders of Environment Protection Licences to make environmental monitoring data publicly available.

Council operates sewage treatment plants at Kyogle, Woodenbong and Bonalbo, and landfills at Kyogle and Woodenbong. The sewage treatment plants and landfills are licensed by the EPA, therefore environmental monitoring data relating to these facilities is required to be publicly available.

The environmental monitoring carried out at these facilities is mandated by the EPA under requirements specific to each licence. Environmental monitoring data may be accessed below.
