North East Link’s Independent Environmental Auditor (IEA) plays a key role in making sure the program and our contractors comply with more than one hundred strict environmental requirements.
This report provides a 6-month summary of audit activities and outcomes for the North East Link early works program from August 2023 to January 2024.
It summarises audit activities during the reporting period, audit findings and the status of actions taken to address previous audit findings. It looks at our early works contractors’ compliance with the Environmental Management Framework and Environmental Performance Requirements.
Across the reporting period, the IEA conducted 2 compliance audits covering Metro Trains Melbourne's construction activities.
In general, Early Works activities were considered by the IEA to be compliant with the EMF and EPRs audited during the reporting period, with the exception of 1 major non-compliance and 6 minor non-compliances. 9 opportunities for improvement were also identified during the reporting period.
Corrective actions to address compliance audit findings were identified, implemented and tracked to closure (where applicable) by Metro Trains Melbourne.
