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 February 2024 to July 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 (EMF) and Environmental Performance Requirements (EPRs).
During the reporting period, the remaining Early Works were almost complete, with no substantive works being undertaken in some months. Across the reporting period, the IEA audited construction activities relating to rail advance works, which are being delivered by MTM as the managing contractor.
Project activities were considered to be compliant with the EMF and EPRs audited across the reporting period, with the exception of 4 minor non-compliances and 1 opportunity for improvement identified during the reporting period.
Corrective actions have been undertaken by MTM to close all findings identified by the compliance audit.
