We are your regional council, working to manage the air, land and water so that it can be enjoyed by everybody. 

We work in partnership with the communities of Canterbury to promote the sustainable management of our resources. Sustainable management means that we use innovative, cost effective and technically excellent methods and ensure that our decision making is based on the highest quality information. 

By managing the environment sustainably, our region’s economic, social and cultural wellbeing can flourish.

The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) was established in February 2012 as a statutory authority with an independent governing Board.
