Independent Environmental Audits

EPS delivers independent audits that meet statutory requirements, reduce compliance risk, and give operators confidence in demonstrating best practice.

The challenge

Environmental compliance is a condition of operating – not a box to tick. Yet many operators face:

  • Complex, and sometimes conflicting, obligations across traffic, air, water, noise and biodiversity
  • Time-consuming reporting and documentation requirements
  • The risk of penalties, licence conditions or reputational damage if audits fall short

Audits should be a safeguard – but without the right partner, they can become a liability.

Our solution

EPS provides independent audits that are:

  • Regulator-ready – aligned with statutory requirements and licence conditions
  • Clear and practical – findings explained with actionable recommendations
  • Trusted – consistently accepted by DPIE and EPA regulators

Our role is to help you demonstrate compliance with confidence.

How we work

Our approach is thorough but efficient:

  1. Confirm scope – align with licence conditions and regulator expectations
  2. Conduct site inspection, consultation and in-depth review of monitoring/reporting systems
  3. Deliver audit report – with clear findings, recommendations and compliance statement

Experience you can trust

  • Independent audits delivered for quarry, solar and wind operators across NSW and interstate
  • Experienced environmental planners and accredited auditors
