Clearing and revegetation
We know our environmental footprint could be significant and we’re committed to minimising our impact. This means we have a responsibility to protect the natural environment when undertaking the clearing of native vegetation and the implementation of projects. We hold a Statewide Clearing Permit (CPS 185). This permit conditionally allows us to clear native vegetation for the purpose of delivering water and wastewater services.
We apply the mitigation hierarchy (avoiding, minimising, reducing and offsetting if required) when designing projects. This ensures that we manage our water and wastewater assets effectively while also safeguarding our native vegetation. This permit is regulated under the Environmental Protection Act 1986.
