North East Link’s Independent Environmental Auditor (IEA) plays a key role in making sure the program and our contractors comply with strict environmental requirements.
This report provides a 6-month summary of audit activities and outcomes for the North East Link early works program from February 2023 to July 2023.
It summarises audit activities during the reporting period, audit findings and the status of actions taken to address previous audit findings. It also looks at our early works contractors’ compliance with the Environmental Management Framework and Environmental Performance Requirements.
In general, Early Works activities were considered by the Independent Environmental Auditor to be compliant with the EMF and EPRs audited during the reporting period, with the exception of 6 major non-compliances and 21 minor non-compliances. 11 opportunities were also identified during the reporting period.
The IEA does not consider the findings to represent systemic issues, nor present ongoing material risks to the environment, including those that are considered open at the time of finalising the IEA Six-monthly Summary Report.
