GPC’s environment team ensures various monitoring activities are completed at all operating ports.
The environmental monitoring is conducted based on GPC’s environmental values.
This monitoring:
- Is completed to ensure the compliance obligations are met,
- Addresses offset requirements, or
- Informs our social licence to operate.
Monitoring is undertaken by GPC’s environment team through its environmental specialists, and in some cases by external groups on behalf of GPC, with specific monitoring undertaken during times of significant project works.
All monitoring is undertaken with a frequency for each program based on legislative, and technical requirements and may mean some monitoring has different intervals and frequency.
The monitoring programs include:
- Air Quality
- Water Quality – storm, ground and marine
- Sediment Quality
- Terrestrial and Marine Habitats
- Terrestrial and Marine Animals
- Pest plants and animals.
