Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

A Site Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is a site-specific plan that ensures all necessary environmental protection measures are identified and implemented.

To help you understand council’s requirements for Site EMP submissions, our Site EMP Kit will help you prepare a site-specific Environmental Management Plan to mitigate impacts on the environment from your construction activities.

Your Site EMP will outline the environmental aspects of concern for the site, their level of risk, and the environmental protection measures to reduce this risk.

This Site EMP Kit comprises these elements:

Guidance Notes

The major components of the Guidance Notes include:

  • requirements for environmental management on subdivision construction sites
  • risk assessment guidance
  • lists of environmental protection measures that may be appropriate for use on your site
  • self-check checklists to aid in internal reviews of Site EMPs and their implementation.

The Guidance Notes are designed to be printed in A4 size.

Site EMP Kit Guidance Notes

Template

Plans must be submitted to Council in A1 size and generally in accordance with the Site EMP Kit Template.

Site EMP Kit Template document (124kb)

The Template document consists of two plans:

  • Plan 1 includes space for a site plan and boxes for text detailing the types and locations of environmental protection measures on the site. The text in the boxes in Plan 1 may need to be changed depending on the individual site conditions; however, the boxes marked with an asterisk (*) must remain unchanged unless prior approval has been obtained from the Council.
  • Plan 2 includes a risk assessment checklist and an area for designs showing the Environmental Protection Measures that will be used on the site.

Sample designs

Sample designs for Environmental Protection Measures are available below. The figures displayed in this Plan are for general reference only, and individual site conditions should be taken into account when designing appropriate Environmental Protection Measures.
