Resources for Local Government

​The ​​​EPA works with Local Government as co-regulators in reducing environmental harm.

​The EPA's partnership with Local Government aims to improve regulatory activities and reduce pollution. Working with Councils is critical in achieving statutory responsibilities outlined in Tasmania's environmental management and pollution control legislation, such as the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994​ (EMPCA).
