Business operation in national parks
NSW national parks provide opportunities for commercial operations which are compatible with the protection of our natural and cultural heritage.
Profiting from cleaner production
Cleaner production involves reducing environmental impacts along the entire life cycle of a product or service by conserving resources and reducing emissions and waste.
Protection of the environment licences are necessary to control the impacts of pollution on the environment in NSW.
The Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997, identifies 'scheduled' activities which require a licence.
The Guide to Licensing will help you determine whether you require an environment licence and provide other licensing information about:
- how and where to apply for a licence
- how much a licence costs
- what you may need to do, even if you don't need a licence
Good environmental management reduces risk, lowers costs, improves productivity and enhances reputation. Whether large or small developing a sustainable business is easy and profitable.
