However, as necessary you should obtain independent advice before making any decision based on the information on this site. The information on this site is made available on the understanding that the State of NSW, the EPA on behalf of NACC, their servants and agents, to the extent permitted by law, accept no responsibility for any damage, cost, loss or expense incurred by you as a result of:

  • any error, omission or misrepresentation on this site
  • any malfunction or failure to function of this site

The EPA was constituted as an independent authority in February 2012. There are references on this website to prior organisations (including OEH, DEC, DECC and DECCW). Sometimes this occurs for historical accuracy. Where it reflects a delay in updating content, web users can generally assume that EPA is the organisation that has assumed responsibilities previously covered by OEH, DEC, DECC and DECCW.
