- Employee awareness training and site inductions.
- Consultation with local community and government agencies, and ongoing review and monitoring to ensure:
-
- Achievement of the required Performance objectives;
- Compliance with the Development Consent;
- Identification of any areas requiring improved management; and
- Corrective measures as applicable.

Our environmental management is incorporated into all aspects of the Project’s delivery and operation. Environmental processes and systems are regularly reviewed to ensure responsible implementation of the project.
Environmental Management Strategy
The Environmental Management Strategy has been developed to address the conditions of approval for the project and serves as the primary guiding document for the management of environmental matters during design, construction, operation and decommissioning of the project.
On 28 April 2017, the NSW Department of Planning and Environment approved the Environmental Management Strategy for White Rock Solar Farm. The Strategy has since been revised and the approval letter can be viewed below.
The Environmental Management Strategy, including all the required Environmental Management Plans, such as the Traffic Management Plan and Landscaping Plan, can be viewed below.
Construction works for the project are complete and rehabilitation is now assessed as complete. A program of periodic site maintenance is ongoing.
An offset and vegetation enhancement area is also being developed alongside the solar farm.
