Independent Environment Audit

In accordance with the Development Consent for the Kurnell Port and Berthing Facility Upgrade, an independent environmental audit was conducted. The purpose of the audit was to assess the environmental performance of the project, as well as compliance with the consent conditions and the site Environmental Protection Licence during 2014, the first year of the project. Based on activities undertaken and records sampled for that year, the audit team found a good level of compliance. To view the full audit report and Ampol’s response, click on the following link.
