The Site Environmental Management Plan (EMP) Kit guidance notes provide practical advice for managing environmental impacts on construction sites, with a focus on reducing sediment runoff and protecting stormwater and local waterways.

The guidance notes explain how to use the Site EMP Kit, including how to plan site controls, manage erosion and sediment, and apply best practice stormwater management during construction. They also support the use of checklists, tools and templates that help builders and site managers meet environmental requirements and maintain clean, compliant worksites.

Managing stormwater and sediment on construction sites is critical to protecting waterways and preventing pollution from entering drains and creeks. The Site EMP Kit helps simplify this process by providing clear, practical guidance that can be applied on site.

This resource is useful for builders, contractors, site managers, councils and environmental officers responsible for construction site compliance and stormwater management.
