Updating your licensed premises information
The EPA is undertaking a program to update licensed premises information for all environment protection licences across NSW.
The accuracy of licensed premises information is important, as it defines the premises on which scheduled activities are authorised to be carried out, as well as the area/activities that the licensee has overall management or control over.
The purpose of the program is to ensure that
- the premises that is licensed by the EPA is defined by data that can be accurately mapped
- the premises information accurately describes the land or waters where all licensed and ancillary activities are carried out.
If you have received a letter asking you to provide updated premises information to the EPA, the following instructions will help you provide the right information. If you choose to use Google Earth Pro to obtain this information, the instructions include information on how to download Google Earth Pro.
