The Strategic Plan describes how we will act to deliver effective stewardship for the environment to protect, restore and enhance the NSW environment and human health. It sets out our commitment to strong and effective regulation and our focus on high quality environmental outcomes across all of our work.
Stewardship is at the heart of what we do
As an environmental steward and NSW’s primary environmental regulator, we are committed to a sustainable future. Our stewardship approach ensures that:
- consistent, strong regulatory settings operate effectively to protect the environment and human health
- Aboriginal voices, cultures and knowledges guide our approach to caring for Country
- our people are safe and capable and our organisation is inclusive
- we collaborate with stakeholders to address current and emerging risks
- we both enable and drive innovation with science, data insights and evidence
- we continually review and improve our regulatory practice
- we develop long-term environmental quality objectives to guide industry decisions and deliver effective outcomes over time.
Our strategic choices
We have made strategic choices about the environmental and human health outcomes the EPA will deliver over the next five years that will support a sustainable, prosperous society as we work to protect tomorrow together:
- Care for Country – Land, water, air and community
- Drive climate action
- Enable a safe circular economy.
