Environmental legislation places responsibilities on those involved in development projects to be aware of and understand the legal implications of the work they are undertaking. VicRoads maintains a register of environmental legislation and holds awareness sessions for staff on an ongoing basis.
VicRoads focuses environmental protection across a range of areas:
These areas are protected through our environmental management procedures for the various stages of projects and are supported by the provision of expert staff in the various fields.
Part of ensuring that VicRoads environment protection procedures are followed is the incident reporting system. The incident reporting system allows VicRoads to follow up incidents to ensure they are properly handled and that any necessary changes to operational procedures are implemented.
