As part of its ongoing commitment to stakeholder engagement, the EPA conducts site visits, forums, invites public submissions on assessments and regularly meets with its Stakeholder Reference Group.
Site visits are an opportunity for the EPA to gain a first-hand appreciation of the environmental setting and constraints of proposals, to listen to community concerns, and to discuss aspects of proposals in the field with subject matter experts, leading to more informed environmental advice being provided to the Minister for Environment.
Providing opportunities for public participation is an integral part of environmental impact assessment and developing sound environmental protection policies in Western Australia. The EPA publishes all documents open for public comment on its consultation hub at https://consultation.epa.wa.gov.au and prefers submissions to be made through the hub.
