The law requires that the Environment Protection Authority produce
a State of the Environment Report (SoE) at least every five years.
The latest SoE was released in November
2003.
The requirements for the State of the Environment Report are
set out in the Environment Protection Act.
It must:
- assess the condition of the state's major environmental resources
- identify significant trends in environmental quality using
specific indicators
- review significant programs, activities and achievements of
public authorities relating to the protection, restoration or
enhancement of the environment
- review the progress made towards achieving the objectives
of the Act
- identify any significant issues, and make recommendations
that, in the opinion of the EPA, should be drawn to the attention
of the Minister.
