Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water / NSW EPA Confirmed Odour Complaint Protocol - EPA-88-2015

To develop a NSW EPA confirmed odour complaint protocol and undertake training of EPA officers in the protocol to ensure consistent implementation across the NSW EPA.  The study will:

• Critically review confirmed odour complaint protocols in other jurisdictions and ambient odour survey methodologies;

• Propose and/or develop a confirmed odour complaint protocol suitable for use by the NSW EPA;

• Develop training material on implementation of the confirmed odour complaint protocol; and

• Conduct training of regional officers on the confirmed odour complaint protocol.

   It is envisaged that a NSW EPA confirmed odour complaint protocol will provide confidence to regional officers that they are implementing a robust and consistent methodology for verifying odour complaints and to then use this information to negotiate with industry the control and management of odour emissions.

   A standardised EPA protocol would also strengthen regulatory action and prosecution under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act, 1997.
