Our annual report lets you know where we’ve done well and where we can do more.

Delivering our core business

Year on year, we:

  • issued 20% more licences and permits
  • increased inspections for the third year in a row
  • increased waste crime disruption activities – like specialist investigations using aerial and on-ground surveillance, and proactive inspections – by 45%
  • issued 6% more notices, directions and orders
  • finalised 35% more prosecutions.

Achieving big results for our community and environment 

Focusing our efforts to where we can make the biggest difference, our work over the past year led to real results.

  • Targeting our enforcement and education to landfills and other industrial sites helped drive odour reports down by 48%. 
  • Focusing on repeat noise polluters and hotspots, repeat noise reports fell by 9%. 
  • Our broad promotion of illegal dumping increased community reports of waste and added to our intelligence on waste crime. 
  • More waste and resource recovery facilities have appropriate permissions to help prevent waste fires and major air quality issues.
