  • Environment Business
    Good for Environment Good for Business Volume V Environment Protection Authority Good for Environment | Good for Business Foreword The Environment Protection Authority is South Australia’s independent environmental regulator. Our role is to protect, restore and improve the environment, and safeguard the health and wellbeing of the community by authorising and regulating activities that may have an environmental impact, carrying out monitoring, and enforcing environmental legislation. The EPA licenses more than 1500 South Australian businesses, institutions and agencies under the Environment Protection Act 1993. This takes in private enterprise as well as government bodies, and covers activities from winemaking and curing meat, to mining and the transport and processing of waste. All licensees are required to meet their environmental obligations through efficient and effective practices, and we ensure that we support them to continually develop and adopt cleaner, more sustainable production technologies. The EPA is also committed to unlocking the state’s future potential, including creating jobs and encouraging innovation through modern regulatory and policy approaches. It is important to us that we not only protect the environment, but that we also provide certainty, fairness and the opportunity for innovation for the sectors we regulate. It is encouraging to learn of the innovative practices our licensees are developing and implementing, and we are proud to present an annual snapshot of them in this publication, Good for Environment, Good for Business. These are just some of the many South Australian organisations that are leading the way by putting in place creative solutions that result in outcomes that strongly benefit their local communities.
