Development and Environment Compliance Officer (Building Sites Compliance Officer) at Wollongong City Council

The NSW government has recently updated the Guidelines for Erosion and Sediment Control on Building Sites. 👏🏠🏗️🔨 The importance of preplanning and consideration to potential pollution sources PRIOR to construction commencing, is often not given enough time or attention- so I’m excited to see “preplanning” as a focus of the document. It is SO important to reduce and minimise sediment leaving site and entering stormwater where it is known to cause environmental harm, impacts to human health/ amenity, flooding and/or damage to relied upon stormwater infrastructure. 🐠🍃🏊♂️ With an increase in penalties for water pollution offences which were introduced by state government earlier in the year, now is the time to familiarise yourself with the updated guidelines 📘
