This extranet site was developed to provide a central, secure location for relevant personnel to share information, procedures and guidance on environmental enforcement activities. Please note that access to the site is restricted to public sector staff involved in the regulation and enforcement of environmental protection legislation.
The key objective of the Environmental Enforcement Network is to foster co-operation between the various public service bodies involved in the enforcement of environmental legislation, so that a higher and more consistent standard of enforcement is achieved throughout the country.
In pursuit of this objective, the functions of the Network are to:
- Ensure more effective co-ordination in the implementation of environmental enforcement activities;
- Provide a framework for a co-ordinated approach to special investigations/actions;
- Develop a consistent approach to the enforcement of environmental legislation;
- Promote the exchange of information and experience in the application and enforcement of environmental legislation;
- Provide assistance to local authorities and other relevant agencies in the development of best practice; and
- Provide a mechanism for feedback to policy makers and legislators on the practical implementation of policies and regulations.
