Every year we identify projects for focused and coordinated compliance action. Our Targeted Compliance Program (previously referred to as our Regulatory Priorities) is one of a number of important elements of our proactive response to critical issues and emerging risks to the environment and our community. The program comprises projects that are big enough to warrant coordinated work across the organisation, and where a difference can be achieved within a twelve-month period.

Our regulatory policies and guidelines include our regulatory framework and policy and guidelines for how we use certain regulatory tools.

These guidelines deal with sentencing options available for environmental offences.
