Annual compliance plans
The Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM) works with Queenslanders to ensure they meet their legal obligations to protect the environment. DERM achieves this through a range of strategies that encourage and equip Queenslanders to use and manage natural resources in a sustainable way, and by responding appropriately when breaches of legislation occur.
Annual compliance plans inform Queenslanders of DERM's planned and proactive compliance activities over the coming year. These activities focus on the key issues threatening the natural and cultural environment. The plans address all of the areas for which DERM is responsible, including:
- efficient use of water and protection of unspoiled rivers
- preservation of Indigenous and other cultural heritage
- protection of air, water, and soil quality
- protection and conservation of ecosystems, landscapes and native plants and animals.
